[Intro] Em
Em C
I just came down from Chippewa, had as station wagon and a hundred dollars
D Em
Thinkin' about the girl I'd lost a year before
C
I hadn't seen her for some time, thought I might go on by
D Em
When your memory came floodin' in and you closed that door
[Refrão]
Em C
Wish it was a freight train baby, wish it was a diesel locomotive
D Em
I'd come whistlin' down your track crashin' in your door
C
Wish it was a freight train baby, wish it didn't have a heart
D Em
You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started
C
Wish it was a freight train baby, 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 Em
I feel like I've been left abandoned on some old railway side
C
And every time I hear your voice my water just gets cold
D Em
My stoker will not stoke and my boiler will not boil
[Refrão]
Em C
Wish it was a freight train baby, wish it was a diesel locomotive
D Em
I'd come whistlin' down your track crashin' in your door
C
Wish it was a freight train baby, wish it didn't have a heart
D Em
You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started
C
Wish it was a freight train baby, 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 Em
I feel like I've been left abandoned on some old railway side
C
And every time I hear your voice my water just gets cold
D Em
My stoker will not stoke and my boiler will not boil
[Instrumental] Em C D Em
Em C D Em
Em C
Well every time I fell behind I could not get ahead
D Em
I wish someone would pull the lever and give me a little sand
C
And every time I slip behind even further back
D Em
I wish some switch man would come out of the fog and change my track
[Refrão]
Em C
Wish it was a freight train baby, wish it was a diesel locomotive
D Em
I'd come whistlin' down your track crashin' in your door
C
Wish it was a freight train baby, wish it didn't have a heart

Wish it was a freight train baby, wish it was a freight train baby
