 Others have put up TABs on how to play the INTRO bit.
 A variation of the INTRO is played during the INST also
 This is a pretty basic song, great for getting your
 wrist strenghtened playing all those barre chords.
 Amazed that this hadn't been put up yet,
 Probably because it's so simple and easy.

INTRO:

E C#m E C#m

Although I've left you darling, I'll soon be back again

E C#m E C#m

That's what I said in China, Where all the work was dead

E C#m E C#m

I hope you get my letters, I'll write them every day

E C#m E C#m

I'll soon be headin' eastwards, I'm hammerin' the nails

A F#m G#m C#m

I'm working on the railroad, I dig away the time

A F#m G#m C#m

I'm singing to the work song, With memories in mind

E C#m E C#m

I'll sail to Hong Kong harbour, The winds were warmer there

E C#m E C#m

The sweat would roll down my back, While diggin' at the earth

E C#m E C#m

While talking of you darling, I'd show your photograph

E C#m E C#m

And point it over westwards, Way over past the tracks

A F#m G#m C#m

I'm working on the railroad, I dig away the time

A F#m G#m C#m

I'm singing to the work song, With memories in mind

A F#m G#m C#m

I'm working on the railroad, I dig away the time

A F#m G#m C#m
