Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer - Hey Conductor
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:   G    C    D    G    D(2x)
GSitting on the dock at Union Station
CWaiting on the pride of the Indian nation
DFastest thing on metal wings or Gwheels D  
GPeople come from all directions
CJust to see their own reflections
DIn a thousand tons of polished Gsteel D  
CHORUS:
They say, "GHey conG7ductor, does C7this train go to Texas
With a Ghoot and a holler all the way down to San DAntone?"
They say, "GHey conG7ductor, does C7this train go to Texas
I got a Gdime and a dollar and a Done-way ticket Ghome" D  
INSTRUMENTAL: 
GWhistle whine when the brakeman pull it
CSee her flying like a silver bullet
DPast the houses through the sleepy Ghills D  
GBlackjack oak and red dust rising
CScarlet sun on the blue horizon
DHear the lonesome call of the whippooGrwillD  
CHORUS:
He says, "GHey conG7ductor, does C7this train go to Texas
With a Ghoot and a holler all the way down to San DAntone?"
He says, "GHey conG7ductor, does C7this train go to Texas
I got a Gdime and a dollar and a Done-way ticket Ghome" D  
GKids come out their eyes a-popping
CYoung men running, old men hopping
DWhen they hear the mighty engine Groar D  
GLords a-leaping, bands a-playing
CLadies dancing, hound dogs baying
DPassengers and hopefuls by the Gscore D  
CHORUS:
They say, "GHey conG7ductor, does C7this train go to Texas
With a Ghoot and a holler all the way down to San DAntone?"
They say, "GHey conG7ductor, does C7this train go to Texas
I got a Gdime and a dollar and a Done-way ticket Ghome" D  
Now Gbaby, I would beg or borrow
CHock my own best boots tomorrow
DJust to git up on that train and Ggo D  
GKings and beggars, saints and villains
CYou and me and all god's chillen'
DPonca City to the Gulf of MexiGco D
