Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 2nd fret
Key: C
[Intro]
F C G C C
[Verse 1]
C F G C
Daddy didn't see me take my first steps as a child
F C Dm G7
The railroad had him haulin' cows through Texas at the time
C F G C
The night I kicked a field goal at the big homecoming’ game
F G
Dad was kickin' hobos off another damned ol' train
[Verse 2]
C F G C
Momma did her best to do it all when dad was gone
F C Dm G
And every night she'd swear he'd really rather be at home
C F G C
Sometimes we'd believe her till we'd look in daddy's eyes
F G
He'd have that faraway look he never could disguise
[Chorus]
F G
Momma loved daddy but daddy loved trains
F G
The steel rails controlled him like whiskey in his brain
C F G C
Number two diesel fuel flowed through his veins
F C G F C
Momma loved daddy but daddy loved trains
[Bridge]
F G C
Now that I've grown older there's some things I understand
F C Dm G
It takes a special person to love that kind of man
C F G C
In ways I guess I'm different but in way's I'm just the same
F G
I've grown to love somebody like my daddy loved those trains
[Chorus]
F G
Momma loved daddy but daddy loved trains
F G
The steel rails controlled him like whiskey in his brain
C F G C
Number two diesel fuel flowed through his veins
F C G C
Momma loved daddy but daddy loved trains
[Outro]
F G
Momma loved daddy but daddy loved trains
F G Am G
The steel rails controlled him like whiskey in his brain
C F G Am
Number two diesel fuel flowed through his veins
F C G F F G C
Momma loved daddy but daddy loved trains
