CROSS-TIE WALKER
John Fogerty


D / / / 2 / / / 3 / / / 4 / / / 5 / / / 6 /
       G
I went down to the station
               D
Just to take a ride
       G
I went down to the station
               D
Just to take a ride
        A7
Found myself on a flatcar
            D
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)


How to practise this song

  1. 1

    Practise the change: A7 ↔ D

    Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

    Open
  2. 2

    Great first song

    Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.

Exercise: Akkoord-wisseltrainer (G-D-Em-C)8 min · drill this on its own and this song gets easier by itself
