Stone Foxes - Passenger Train (Jam in the van)
Howdy folks, this is my first tab so feel free to comment. I was looking
through the tabs for The Stone Foxes and I couldn't find this one so I decided to come up with my
own. 
CYou say I'm an evil man,
GFor stealin' from a passenger train,
AmBut have mercy on this ol' boy,
FI sweat that I can explain.
AmI took the diamond, from the safe of your soul,
GI dug deep and wide and put it down in a hole,
AmI put it down there so nobody would know,
FThat I tried to turn back but I couldn't let go.
             [Chorus]
CTimes were hard, they brought me down,
GAt least I can say that I tried,
AmWell I aint that bad, well I aint that good,
FI just did what I did to get by.
FI did what I did to get by.
CThough it wasn't long ago,
GYou said I would do what I done,
AmThat I'd bear the pain of the passenger train,
FAnd live my life on the run.
AmI tried to hide from the things in my mind,
GThe night time was cold but the darkness was kind,
AmAs I went down, and laid on my side,
FI closed my eyes and I dreamed that I died,
            [Chorus]
CTimes were hard, they brought me down,
GAt least I can say that I tried,
AmWell I aint that bad, well I aint that good,
FI just did what I did to get by.
FI did what I did to get by.
FI did what I did to get by.
FI did what I did to get by.
Cthough it was in infamy,
GI had my fortune and fame,
AmAfter I robbed the passenger train,
FNothin' was ever the same,
AmMy pockets were lined with the silver and gold,
GBut the weight got heavy and I started to fold,
AmI went to the steps of the ol' town hall,
FI said here's all my money, you can have it all,
                  [Chorus]
CTimes were hard, they brought me down,
GAt least I can say that I tried,
AmWell I aint that bad, well I aint that good,
FI just did what I did to get by.
AmI did what I did to get by.
GI did what I did to get by.
AMI did what I did, I did what I did, I did what I did to get by.
FI did what I did to get by. (You know I tried)
FI did what I did to get by. (Yeah I did)
FI did what I did to get by.
FI did what I did to get by.

Stone Foxes - Passenger Train (Jam in the van)

Howdy folks, this is my first tab so feel free to comment. I was looking

through the tabs for The Stone Foxes and I couldn't find this one so I decided to come up with my

own.

You say I'm an evil man,

For stealin' from a passenger train,

But have mercy on this ol' boy,

I sweat that I can explain.

I took the diamond, from the safe of your soul,

I dug deep and wide and put it down in a hole,

I put it down there so nobody would know,

That I tried to turn back but I couldn't let go.

[Chorus]

Times were hard, they brought me down,

At least I can say that I tried,

Well I aint that bad, well I aint that good,

I just did what I did to get by.

I did what I did to get by.

Though it wasn't long ago,

You said I would do what I done,

That I'd bear the pain of the passenger train,

And live my life on the run.

I tried to hide from the things in my mind,

The night time was cold but the darkness was kind,

As I went down, and laid on my side,

I closed my eyes and I dreamed that I died,

[Chorus]

Times were hard, they brought me down,

At least I can say that I tried,

Well I aint that bad, well I aint that good,

I just did what I did to get by.

I did what I did to get by.

though it was in infamy,

I had my fortune and fame,

After I robbed the passenger train,

Nothin' was ever the same,

My pockets were lined with the silver and gold,

But the weight got heavy and I started to fold,

I went to the steps of the ol' town hall,

I said here's all my money, you can have it all,

[Chorus]

Times were hard, they brought me down,

At least I can say that I tried,

Well I aint that bad, well I aint that good,

I just did what I did to get by.

I did what I did to get by.

I did what I did, I did what I did, I did what I did to get by.

I did what I did to get by. (You know I tried)

I did what I did to get by. (Yeah I did)

I did what I did to get by.
