[Verse 1]
E B
When I was young,
E A E
I spent my summer days.
B
Playing on the track.
E B
The sound of the wheels,
E A
rolling on the steel.
E
Took me out, took me back.
[Chorus]
A E
Big train from Memphis,
A E
big train from Memphis,
B E
now it’s gone, gone, gone,
B E
gone, gone, gone.
[Verse 2]
B
Like no one before,
E A
he let out a roar.
E B
And I, just had to tag along.
E B
Each night I went to bed,
E A
with the sounds in my head.
E
And the dream, was a song.
[Chorus]
A E
Big train from Memphis,
A E
big train from Memphis,
B E
now it’s gone, gone, gone,
B E
gone, gone, gone.
[Break]

[Verse 3]
B
Well I rode ’em in.
E A
And back out again.
E B
You know, what they say about trains.
E B
But I’m tellin you,
E A
when that Memphis train came through.
E
This old world was not the same.
[Outro]
A E
Big train from Memphis,
A E
big train from Memphis,
B E
now it’s gone, gone, gone,
B E
gone, gone, gone.
