Freight Train

Am F G Am


[Verse 1]
       Am                          
Well I just came down the Chippewa,
          F
 I had a station wagon and hundred 
dollars,
      G                          
I was thinkin' 'bout the girl I'd 
          Am
lost the year before.
  Am                               
I hadn't seen her for some time, I 
F
thought that I might go on by,
          G                      
When your memory came floodin' in 
     Am
and closed that door.


[Chorus]
           Am                    
Wish I was a freight train, baby, 
              F
wish I was a diesel locomotive,
         G                         
I'd come whistlin' down your track 
    Am
and crashin' in your door.
             Am                  
Wish I was a freight train, baby, 
               F
wish I didn't have a heart,
                 G                 
And you'd need a shovel full of 
  Am
coal just to get me started.
             Am                  
Wish I was a freight train, baby, 
              E
wish I was a freight train.

[Verse 2]
Am                         F
Every time I talk to you, I hear 
your jealous lies,
            G                      
I feel like I've been left 
          Am
abandoned on some old railway 
siding.
Am                                
And every time I hear your voice, 
   F
my water just gets cold,
   G                           
My stoker will not stoke and my 
 Am
boiler will not boil.


[Chorus]
 Am                              
Wish I was a freight train, baby, 
              F
wish I was a diesel locomotive,
         G                         
I'd come whistlin' down your track 
    Am
and crashin' in your door.
             Am                  
Wish I was a freight train, baby, 
               F
wish I didn't have a heart,
                 G                 
And you'd need a shovel full of 
  Am
coal just to get me started.
             Am                  
Wish I was a freight train, baby, 
              E
wish I was a freight train.

[Verse 3]
Am                           F
Every time I fell behind and I could
 not get ahead,
         G                       
I wish someone would pull a lever 
          Am
and give me a little sand.
Am                               
And every time I slipped behind, 
F
hey, even further back,
             G                   
I wish some switch man would come 
                     Am
out of the fog and change my track.


[Chorus]
 Am                              
Wish I was a freight train, baby, 
              F
wish I was a diesel locomotive,
         G                         
I'd come whistlin' down your track 
    Am
and crashin' in your door.
             Am                  
Wish I was a freight train, baby, 
               F
wish I didn't have a heart,
                 G                 
And you'd need a shovel full of 
  Am
coal just to get me started.
             Am                     
           E               Fade.....
Wish I was a freight train, baby, 
wish I was a freight train.
