[Verse 1]
E                               A
Leaving in a cloud of burning cinders,
E                                 A
cinders from a fire of love gone out.
                                     D
Never looking back when she's highballin',
       E                                 A
she's the daughter of a railroad man no doubt.

[Verse 2]
 E                          A
Wakin' in a new bed every morning,
 E                             A
breakin' in a new heart every night.
                                   D
Up and running while the world is sleeping,
       E                                A
she's the daughter of a railroad man, alright.

[Chorus]
        D                           A
She is long and sleek and made for movin',
        E                            A
she's outward bound at any time she can.
     D                              A
She won't be staying long in any station,
       E                          A
she's the daughter of a railroad man.

[Verse 3]
E                                      A
Cries out in the night when she gets lonely,
     E                           A
you can bet she won't be lonely long.
                                      D
On down the line someone waits her arrival
     E                                  A
and the daughter of a railroad man is gone.

[Chorus]
        D                   A
She is long and sleek and made for movin',
                        E            A
she's outward bound at any time she can.
     D                              A            E                          A
She won't be staying long in any station, She's the daughter of a railroad man.
