[Verse]
C Am
Well a man in a Cadillac used to come around here
C Am
Looking for a long black train
C Am
Said his baby left town with an engineer
F Am
Cut across the midnight rain, boys
F C Am C Am
Straight across the midnight rain
C Am
Now everybody said he'd been in Vietnam
C Am
When he was pretty young
C Am
That's where his buddy got killed when his rifle jammed
F Am
Now the fighting ain't never done, boys
F C
No the fighting ain't never done
[Chorus]
F Dm
Red tip of a cigarette glowin'
F Dm
Windows up against the rain
C Am
Night so dark, there was nothing else showin'
F Am
Nobody knew his name, boys
F C Am C Am
Nobody knew his name
[Verse]
C Am
Sheriff run him off every once in a while
C Am
But he would be right back
C Am
With a cup of coffee, an old newspaper
F Am
Sitting by the side of the tracks, boys
F C Am C Am
Crying by the side of the tracks
C Am
He'd try to keep from turning the tables
C Am
Hired walking horses out at Suffolk Downs
C Am
But there was always some whiskey back at the stables
F Am
If you knew where to look around, boys
F C
If you knew where to look around
[Chorus]
F Dm
Red tip of a cigarette glowin'
F Dm
Windows up against the rain
C Am
Night so dark, there was nothing else showin'
F Am
But nobody knew his name, boys
F C Am C Am
Nobody knew his name
[Verse]
C Am
Slinging pizza and beer down at Waterfront Park
C Am
Handicapping dogs for the clientèle
C
A different pick for each one
Am
Yeah, it didn't matter who won
F Am
Somebody gonna tip him well, boys
F C Am C Am
Somebody gonna tip him well
C Am
Well they found him in his Cadillac car
C Am
Out behind the old farm store
C Am
He was sitting there like he was going somewhere
F Am
And he wasn't coming back no more, boys
F C
He wasn't coming back no more
