Jackson Station
The Band of Heathens
Verse 1
G D G
Well Mamas� got a voice like sugar, it�s so sweet and fine
G D
Sister sang amazing grace she�s right in time
G G7 C Cadd9
And they�re laying poor poppa low, in the ground that he worked and sowed
G D G

And I�ll be waiting at the Jackson Station for the train to roll

Verse 2
G D G
She�s been up all night, she got crows walking around her eyes
G D
But she can still raise a cup in a toast till the well ran dry
G G7 C Cadd9
He left her on a Tuesday still, with gin, whiskey and a bottle of pills
G D G
And now she�s waitin� at the Jackson Station looking over the hill

Bridge
C G
Take me away hear that whistle play a sad sad song
C G D
Lay me down where the river runs wide and strong
G G7
Sometimes she rides a ticket home
C Cm
Other times she'll leave you all alone
G D G
Just a waiting at the Jackson Station waiting for the train to go

Verse 3
G D G
Well the four nineteen rolls on the red ball line
G D
And the backwater shacks awaken to the four one nine
G G7
And she�s got smoke coming out of her stack
C Cadd9
Dead running on a ten mile track
G D G
She�s waiting at the Jackson Station never coming back
G D G
She�s waiting at the Jackson Station never coming back
G D C hold
She�s waiting at the Jackson Station never coming back
C G
Ain�t never coming back

Harmonica Solo end
G D G G D
G G7 C Cadd9
G D G
