Amelia's Railroad Flat Lyrics

Capo 2

(D)AMELIA, SHE WORKED FOR THE (G) railroad
(A) Doin' what I never (D) knew
But I'd meet her down at the Em) depot
(A) Every day at half past (D) two
And we climbed the (D7) old wood (G) stairway
(A) Find the key below the (D) mat
Watch the sunset on the (Em) freight yard
(A) Up at Amelia's railroad (D) flat

RUSSIAN VODKA IN THE (G) freezer
(A) From the Polish liquor (D) store
Spanish rice, Moroccan (Em) oranges
(A) Persian rugs upon the (D) floor

And Amelia (D7) came from (G) Denmark
(A) She bought a pair of Siamese (D) cats
They'd wake us up there in the (Em) morning
(A) At Amelia's railroad (D) flat
And every (Bm) night the midnight ghost rode out on (G) time
(Bm) Rolling down the line at 12 (G) 09
And we'd (Bm) sit and count the cars out on the (G) track
As they (D) shook the bedroom window of Amelia's railroad (A) flat
(A)(G)(A)(D)(Em)
(A) (D)

BUT THE FREIGHT YARDS, THEY ARE (G) gone now
(A) And the buildings block the (D) sun
And Amelia sailed for (Em) Demark
(A) Way back in 1981(D)
But every time I (D7) hear a (G) freight train
(A) Or watch the sun set on the (D) tracks
Lord I recall those summer (Em) evenin's
(A) Up at Amelia's railroad (D) flat

And every time I (D7) hear a (G) freight train
(A) Blowin' lonely down the (D) track
I hear those bedroom windows (Em) rattle
(A) Up at Amelia's railroad (D) flat

Lord how those bedroom windows (Em) rattled
(A) Up at Amelia's railroad (D) flat
