CROSS-TIE WALKER
performed by Creedence Clearwater Revival
D / / / 2 / / / 3 / / / 4 / / / 5 / / / 6 /
I went Gdown to the station
Just to take a Dride
I went Gdown to the station
Just to take a Dride
Found myA7self on a flatcar
Yesterday beDhind
Verse 2:
Pullin' out from the platform
There was no brass band
I pulled out from the platform
Nobody raise a hand
There were no tears or regrets
>From the runaway train
Train, train, train, train
(instrumental, same pattern as verses)
Verse 3:
Got no sand in my pocket
You know I ain't tied down
With no sand in my pocket
Never do sit down
I'm just a cross-tie walker
Where the freight trains run
Run, run, run, run
(instrumental, same pattern as verses)
Verse 4:
If you see me a-comin'
Don't you waste my time
If you see me a-comin'
Don't you waste my time
'Cause there're more miles between us
Than the Santa Fe line
Run, run, run
(hum 2 lines of a verse, then play D continuously and fade)

CROSS-TIE WALKER

performed by Creedence Clearwater Revival

D / / / 2 / / / 3 / / / 4 / / / 5 / / / 6 /

I went down to the station

Just to take a ride

I went down to the station

Just to take a ride

Found myself on a flatcar

Yesterday behind

Verse 2:

Pullin' out from the platform

There was no brass band

I pulled out from the platform

Nobody raise a hand

There were no tears or regrets

>From the runaway train

Train, train, train, train

(instrumental, same pattern as verses)

Verse 3:

Got no sand in my pocket

You know I ain't tied down

With no sand in my pocket

Never do sit down

I'm just a cross-tie walker

Where the freight trains run

Run, run, run, run

(instrumental, same pattern as verses)

Verse 4:

If you see me a-comin'

Don't you waste my time

If you see me a-comin'

Don't you waste my time

'Cause there're more miles between us

Than the Santa Fe line

Run, run, run

(hum 2 lines of a verse, then play D continuously and fade)
