Here's the video I used to help figure this one out:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIFvhgMj6nc
Capo on 5
Cadd9 G
Well I used to pray to Jesus but I done backslid
D Em
Carrying the burdens of a preacher's kid
Cadd9 G
Drinking at the pulpit and healing them lame
D Em
Daddy was a-riding on the old death train
Cadd9 G
I had me a woman but she took my kid
D Em
When I gambled all our money on a moonshine still
Cadd9 G
Now I drink my whiskey from a beat up flask
D Em
This train done departed and it's goin' fast

Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Oh the wheels, they spin, they're faster than a speeding
D
Airplane on a sunny day
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Em
And I can't break free cause I can't believe it's me
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
So I'll take your bets, I'll try me walking down
D
A narrow line with a life like mine
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Em
And you'll never see any boy as brave as me
D
Yeah I hope that this old railroad delivers me
Same chords repeat on the rest of the verses/choruses
I'm still the talk of this town, I'm still the roll of their dice
I found me a lover in a whorehouse wife
She never knew her mama or the money I've known
Don't ever make a judgement if you ain't been shown
You never walked in my shoes, you never understood
Why I was escaping anyway that I could
Nobody knows I'm gonna ride these rails
'Til the dark comes over this prison cell
Oh the wheels, they spin, they're faster than a speeding
Airplane on a sunny day
And I can't break free cause I can't believe it's me
So I'll take your bets, I'll try me walking down
A narrow line with a life like mine
And you'll never see any boy as brave as me
Yeah I hope that this old railroad delivers me
Well, the truth came out and the church burned down
Daddy's heart stopped on the edge of this town
I'm out here searching for that boy of my own
Don't ever make a judgement if you ain't been shown
Oh the wheels, they spin, they're faster than a speeding
Airplane on a sunny day
And I can't break free cause I can't believe it's me
So I'll take your bets, I'll try me walking down
A narrow line with a life like mine
And you'll never see any boy as brave as me
Yeah I hope that this old railroad delivers me
D
Yeah I hope that this old railroad delivers me
