Nobody Cares About The Railroads Anymore

[Verse 1]

C           Ebdim           F              G

When we got married back in nineteen forty-four

C               Ebdim7      F          G

We’d board that Silverliner below Baltimore

C          C7         F              D7

Trip to Virginia on a sunny honeymoon

G                                   C

Nobody cares about the railroads anymore





[Verse 2]

C            Ebdim        F                G

We’d tip the porter for a place of our own

C           Ebdim7           F                  G

Then send a postcard to your mommy and dad back home

C                     C7                F               D7

Mmm, it did something to you when you’d hear that â€œAll aboard”

G                                   C

Nobody cares about the railroads anymore





[Chorus]

F                         C

Woo-ee, woo-oo-oo-ee, woo-ee

F                         G

Woo-ee, woo-oo-oo-ee, woo-ee





[Verse 3]

C        Ebdim            F               G

We had a daughter and you oughtta see her now

C         Ebdim7              F                G

She has a boyfriend who looks just like my gal Sal

C                C7                 F          D7

And when they’re married they won’t need us anymore

G                                                 C

They’ll board an aeroplane and fly away from Baltimore





[Chorus]

F                         C

Woo-ee, woo-oo-oo-ee, woo-ee

F                         G

Woo-ee, woo-oo-oo-ee, woo-ee





[Verse 4]

C           Ebdim           F               G

When we got married back in nineteen fourty-four

C               Ebdim7      F          G

We’d board that Silverliner below Baltimore

C          C7         F              D7

Trip to Virginia on a sunny honeymoon

G                                   C

Nobody cares about the railroads anymore





[Verse 5]

C        Ebdim       F            G

La la la la-la la-la-la la la bye-bye

C        Ebdim7      F              G

La la la la-la la-la-la la la don’t cry

C                     C7                F               D7

Mmm, it did something to you when you’d hear that â€œAll aboard”

G                                   C

Nobody cares about the railroads anymore
