CGC
someone's waving
C
someone's counting
CG
someone's leaving
C
there's fifty dollars on this pony
G
chase him down these tracks
C
well won't nobody take my business
G
i'll teach you how to come back
DCG
i saw one hundred miles of steel over wood and let her go
DCG
i filled my pockets up with coal black with mud and let her go
i'll throw my hat off when i beat you
find it when you're gone
there's straw and cotton around the station
i'll make myself a new one
i held a silver dollar tight inside my fist and let you go
i've counted all the things i've lost that point to this and let you go
C
the whistle's sounding
C
you are leaving
C
i am counting
