Lay My Head On the Rail - Ryan Bingham and the Dead Horses
Album: Junky Star
DGDGAd Tuning (You can also play in DADGAD but it makes Riff b harder to play
because you have to use the 5th fret of the low D string then)
Not an overly complicated song. I simplified some of the finger picking and in the
bass he just keeps a nice solid straight 4 rhythm. Just listen to the songs for
the changes and this tab will work perfectly for ya. Enjoy! and Please Rate...

Well I�m back on that road again
Nothin slows me down
I ain�t seen a single smile since I left your town
All these people just keep lookin� round
Can�t look you in the eye
L.A is like the movies
And I�m still wondering why
I�m holdin� on
Lay my head down on the rail
Sing my way back home
The road signs are hazy and the miles start to unwind
But I ain�t ever lookin back cause there�s nothin� left behind
My fingertips are bleedin, there right down to the bone
Can�t believe i�m out again on the high lonesome road
I�m holdin� on
Lay my head down on the rail
Sing my way back home
The head lights are blinding and the diesels are on fire
Haulin� ass down a mountain pass
To the California state line
If you could see my bleeding feet
You might hang your head and cry
But don�t you shed a tear my dear
For I�m comin home tonight
I�m holdin� on
Lay my head down on the rail
Sing my way back home
Lay my head down on the rail
Sing my way back home
