Now, some (G7)people are sayin' that I'm (C7)crazy
'Cause, my (D7)real name is just Jesse (G7)James
Well I left them half crocked, hard knocks to the Black Rock (C7)County
Just to (D7)ride on that New Delhi (G7)train
(Chorus)
I'm ridin' on that (G7)New Delhi freight train, I'm ridin' on that New Delhi line
I'm ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
And I left my (D7)love be-(G7)hind, left my (D7)love be-(G7)hind
Inst.: (G7) x 4 bars (similar to the Intro.)
I'm (G7)just a country boy without (C7)angels
I'm (D7)just a country boy without (G7)gold
And I've (G7)been to silver cities, load of (C7)rainbows
Where they say, I (D7)pillaged and I killed and I (G7)stole
(Chorus)
I'm ridin' on that (G7)New Delhi freight train, ridin' on that New Delhi line
Ridin' on that New Delhi freight train
And I left my (D7)life be-(G7)hind, left my (D7)life be-(G7)hind
Inst.: (G7) x 4 bars (similar to the Intro.)
Well they (G7)say I killed a man named Smil-(C7)ey Jeerdun
They say I (D7)killed him with one of my (G7)guns
Well I (G7)know that I did what I had not (C7)ought to
But I (D7)welcomed the run from what I'd done (G7)
Repeat Inst. and Chorusto fade
