Woody Guthrie - Little Black Train

for embellishments just do hammer – ons the E , A , and D strings . also , a few bass
runs here and there .

he doesn’t quite play it the right way all throughout .

G
there’s a little black train A – coming

coming down the track
C
you gotta ride that little black train
D G
but it ain’t A – gonna bring you back

you may be a barroom gambler
and cheat your way through life
but you can’t cheat that little black train
or beat this final ride

you silken barroom ladies
dressed in your worldly pride
C
you`ve got to ride that little black train
G
that`s coming in tonight

your million dollar fortune
your mansion glittering white
C
you can`t take it with you
G
when the train rolls in tonight

get ready for your savior
and fix your business right
you`ve got to ride that little black train
to make this final ride

you silken barroom ladies
dressed in your worldly pride
C
you`ve got to ride that little black train
G
that`s coming in tonight

you may be a barroom gambler
cheat your way through life
C
but you can`t cheat that little black train
G
or beat this final ride

there`s a little black train A – coming
coming down the track
you`ve got to ride that little black train
but it ain`t A – gonna bring you back
