C                             Dm    Am G7
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast,
G                             C     Am  G  
Freight train, freight train, goin' so  fast.
E7                     F     Dm7 F
Please don't tell what train I'm on,
Am      G     Em         Dm   C
So they won't know where I've gone.

C                                   C     Am  G7
Freight train, freight train comin' round the bend,
G                             C    Am  G  
Freight train, freight train, gone a...gain.
E7                          F     Dm7 F
One of these days turn that train a...round,
Am     G          G7   C
And go back to my home town.

C                             Dm    Am G7
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast,
G                             C     Am  G  
Freight train, freight train, goin' so  fast.
E7                     F     Dm7 F
Please don't tell what train I'm on,
Am      G     Em         Dm   C
So they won't know where I've gone.

C                  Dm   Am G7  G                  C    Am  G  
One more place I'd like to be, one more place I'd love to see,
E7                           F   Dm7    F
To watch them old Blue Ridge Mountains climb,
Am     G           G7  C
When I ride ol’ Number Nine.

Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast,

C                C    Am G7    G                  C   Am  G  
When I die Lord, bury me deep, down at the end of Bleeker Street,
E7                F  Dm7 F     Am     G        Dm  C
So I can hear old Number Nine, as she goes rollin’ by.


C                             Dm    Am G7
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast,
G                             C     Am  G  
Freight train, freight train, goin' so  fast.
