Tom: G
G C
Riding to Kentucky on a southbound train
G D G
Listen to that banjo driving rhythm through my brain
G C
Just left home this morning, can't say the reason why
D G C
I'm going down to Louisville to see my pony ride
D G
To see my pony ride
[Chorus]
G
Now I'm riding that bluegrass train
Bb D
riding that bluegrass train
G
If that train's running right
C Bb
I'll be there tomorrow night
G C
riding that bluegrass train
D C G
riding that bluegrass train
[Verse 2]
G C
Lost all my money on a horse that didn't show
D G
Porter can I pay my way with this old banjo
G C
I've got to get to Nashville before the sun is gone
D G C
Hit me with another shot while I play my lonesome song
D G
Play my lonesome song
[Chorus]
G
Now I'm riding that bluegrass train
Bb D
riding that bluegrass train
G
Better hold what you got
C Bb
She won't keep your supper hot
G C
rolling through the driving rain
D C G
riding that bluegrass train
[Verse 3]
G C
Stepped on to the platform and heard the church street blues
D G D G
Someone stole my change boys, just for passing through
G C
Got nothing in this world, except this old guitar
D G C
You can have it for a ticket, all the way to Baltimore
D G
All the way to Baltimore
[Chorus]
G
Now we're riding that new grass train
Bb D
riding that new grass train
G
You know right here at the gate
C Bb
If this cannonball runs late
G C
keep rolling through the driving rain
D C G
riding that bluegrass train
