Are you ready to take the train for poor valley

[Jean Pierre]

with pleasure I love this song by Norman Blake

what tone do you want me to do the backtrack?

[TPB]

The Ed Harris version is good I believe it is in the key of G

[Jean Pierre]

..on the video Ed Harris play it in D (on the guitar capo II fret and  C form )
In this afternoon, I do a working version with a backtrack guitar and BIAB (mandolin, bass, banjo) and I send you
I work with Reaper for mixing, if you can send me voices and harmonica on separate MP3

I am very happy to mae this song with you, have a good day in Mississippi

here is the lyrics and chords I find on web

[Verse]

     C                G        F                 C
Well it was good one time everything was mighty fine
                   G             C
The coal tipples roared day and night
     C              G             F            C
But things they got slow for no reason that I know
     C              G         C
And ill winds they hove into sight


[Verse]

     C                G        F          C
The mines all closed down everybody laid around
                   G           C
There wasn't very much left to do
                      G                F               C
Except stand in that line to get your ration script on time
                   G             C
And woman I could see it killin' you


[Chorus]

         C                G    C
Now the soft new snows of December
        Am  F           C
Lightly fall my cabin 'round
                             F
And the last train from Poor Valley
        C    F      G     F        C
Takin' brown haired Becky Richmond bound


chorus instrument


[Verse]

                          G       F                 C
It's been a comin' on and on lord soon you would be gone
                      G          C
Leavin' crossed your mind every day
                 G             F                 C
Then you said to me things are bad back home you see
                 G        C
I guess I better be on my way


[Verse]

                         G         F              C
Well I should blame you now but I never could somehow
                     G               C
A miner's wife you weren't cutout to be
                    G                 F                 C
It wasn't what you thought just some dreams that you'd bought
                       G             C
When you left home and ran away with me



[Chorus]

         C                G    C
Now the soft new snows of December
        Am  F           C
Lightly fall my cabin 'round
                             F
And the last train from Poor Valley
        C    F      G     F        C
Takin' brown haired Becky Richmond bound


[Outro]

                             F
And the last train from Poor Valley
        C    F      G     F        C
Takin' brown haired Becky Richmond bound

[Groundy]
