Chattanooga Choo Choo

A
Hello rail-road, is this the 
rail-road?
         Bm7
I want a one way ticket down to 
Tennessee
              A                Bm7
I'm leavin' immediately, 
          E7
Chattanooga here I come

[Verse 1]
E         A
Pardon me boy, is that the 
Chattanooga Choo Choo?
                      Bm7
Right on track twenty nine?
E7                  A
Boy you can gimme a shine
A
I can afford, to board the 
Chattanooga Choo Choo
                        Bm7
I've, I've, I've got my fare
E7                   A
And just a trifle to spare

[Chorus]
              D            A      
You leave the Pennsylvania station
         D
 'bout a quarter to four
           Em                   A 
Read a magazine and then you're in
      D
 Baltimore
G             G7     D       Bm
Dinner in the diner, nothing could 
be finer
E7                               
Than to have your ham 'n eggs in 
A7
Carolina

D                 A               
When you hear the whistle blowin' 
D
eight to the bar
                   A               
Then you know that Tennessee is not
 D
 very far
G              Gm       Bm7
Shovel all the coal in, gotta keep 
it rollin'
E7                     A7
Woo, woo, Chattanooga, there you are

[Verse 2]
A
There's gonna be a certain party at 
the station
           A7        Bm7   E7    
In, in, in satin and lace, I used
               A7
 to call funny face
A                                 
She's gonna cry, until I tell her 
          D     F7
that I'll never roam
E              F#m
