Freight Train

  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


[Chorus]
              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


[Verse 2]
     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.

[Chorus]
              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

[Verse 3]
     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


[Chorus]
              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

         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
