Freight Train

[Intro] Em

   Em                              
I just came down from Chippewa, had
    C
 as station wagon and a hundred 
dollars
D                                  
Thinkin' about the girl I'd lost a 
Em
year before
I hadn't seen her for some time, 
        C
thought I might go on by
         D                       
When your memory came floodin' in 
         Em
and you closed that door

[Estribillo]

              Em                   
Wish it was a  freight train baby, 
                     C
wish it was a diesel locomotive
          D                        
I'd come whistlin' down your track 
     Em
crashin' in your door
Wish it was a freight train baby, 
               C
wish it didn't have a heart
          D                     Em
You need a shovel for the coal just 
to get me started
Wish it was a freight train baby, 
             C
wish it was a  freight train baby
              D                Em
Wish it was a  freight train

    Em                           C
Well every time I talk to you I hear
 your jealous lines
 D                                 
I feel like I've been left 
    Em
abandoned on some old railway side
And every time I hear your voice my 
C
water just gets cold

   D                            
My  stoker will not stoke and my 
Em
boiler will not boil

[Estribillo]

              Em                   
Wish it was a  freight train baby, 
                     C
wish it was a diesel locomotive
          D                        
I'd come whistlin' down your track 
     Em
crashin' in your door
Wish it was a freight train baby, 
               C
wish it didn't have a heart
          D                     Em
You need a shovel for the coal just 
to get me started
Wish it was a freight train baby, 
             C
wish it was a  freight train baby
              D                Em
Wish it was a  freight train

    Em                           C
Well every time I talk to you I hear
 your jealous lines
 D                                 
I feel like I've been left 
    Em
abandoned on some old railway side
And every time I hear your voice my 
C
water just gets cold
   D                            
My  stoker will not stoke and my 
Em
boiler will not boil

               Em  C  D  Em

    Em                         
Well every time I fell behind I 
  C
could not get ahead
 D                                 
I wish someone would pull the lever
       Em
 and give me a little sand
                             C
And every time I slip behind even 
further back
 D                               
I wish some switch man would come 
              Em
out of the fog and change my track

[Estribillo]

              Em                   
Wish it was a  freight train baby, 
                     C
wish it was a diesel locomotive
          D                        
I'd come whistlin' down your track 
     Em
crashin' in your door
Wish it was a freight train baby, 
               C
wish it didn't have a heart
          D                     Em
You need a shovel for the coal just 
to get me started
Wish it was a freight train baby, 
             C
wish it was a  freight train baby
              D                Em
Wish it was a  freight train

    Em                           C
Well every time I talk to you I hear
 your jealous lines
 D                                 
I feel like I've been left 
    Em

And every time I hear your voice my
