  One toke over the line, sweet Jesus, one toke over the line 
              C/B       Am      D9       F        G        C 
  Sittin' downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line 
  C 
  Waitin' for the train that goes home, sweet Mary 
  F                           C 
  Hoping that the train is on time 
              C/B       Am      D9       F        G        C 
  Sittin' downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line 
 
C             F               C 
Who do you love, I hope it's me 
          D9        F                     G7   
I've been changing,    as you can plainly see 
C                                            F                 C 
   I felt the joy and I learned about the pain, and my mama said 
            Am                D9       F 
If I should choose to make it part of me 
G7   
      Would surely strike me dead, and now I'm ... (chorus) 
 
C         F               C 
I sail away, a country mile 
              D9       F                     G7   
And now I'm returning,    and showing off my smile 
  C                                        F                  C 
I met all the girls and I loved myself a few, and to my surprise 
          Am              D9          F 
Like everything else that I've been through 
G7   
      They opened up my eyes, and now I'm ... (chorus)
