AMELIAâ??S RAILROAD FLAT
Tom Russell
Capo 2
Intro: (D)/
AMELIA, SHE WORKED FOR THE (G) railroad
(A) Doinâ?? what I never (D) knew
But Iâ??d meet her down at the Em) depot
(A) Every day at half past (D) two
And we climbed the (D7) old wood (G) stairway
(A) Find the key below the (D) mat
Watch the sunset on the (Em) freight yard
(A) Up at Ameliaâ??s railroad (D) flat //// //// /
RUSSIAN VODKA IN THE (G) freezer
(A) From the Polish liquor (D) store
Spanish rice, Moroccan (Em) oranges
(A) Persian rugs upon the (D) floor
And Amelia (D7) came from (G) Denmark
(A) She bought a pair of Siamese (D) cats
Theyâ??d wake us up there in the (Em) morning
(A) At Ameliaâ??s railroad (D) flat //// //// //// ////
And every (Bm) night the midnight ghost rode out on (G) time
(Bm) Rolling down the line at 12 (G) 09
And weâ??d (Bm) sit and count the cars out on the (G) track
As they (D) shook the bedroom window of Ameliaâ??s railroad (A) flat //// //// /

BUT THE FREIGHT YARDS, THEY ARE (G) gone now
(A) And the buildings block the (D) sun
And Amelia sailed for (Em) Demark
(A) Way back in 198-(D)-1
But every time I (D7) hear a (G) freight train
(A) Or watch the sun set on the (D) tracks
Lord I recall those summer (Em) eveninâ??s
(A) Up at Ameliaâ??s railroad (D) flat
And every time I (D7) hear a (G) freight train
(A) Blowinâ?? lonely down the (D) track
I hear those bedroom windows (Em) rattle
(A) Up at Ameliaâ??s railroad (D) flat
Lord how those bedroom windows (Em) rattled
(A) Up at Ameliaâ??s railroad (D) flat //// //// //// ///
