Fast Freight

Am


[Verse 1]
     Am
As I listen for the whistle, Lie 
awake and wait,
                             Em7 
Wish the railroad didn't run so  
Am
near.

'Cause the rattle and the clatter of
 that old fast freight,
E7                         Am
Keeps a makin' music in my ear.

Go bum again... Go bum again.


[Refrain]
A                G               
Hear the whistle blow...Hear the 
        A    Am
whistle blow.
Am
Click-e-ty clack, Click-e-ty clack,
Am
The wheels are sayin' to the 
railroad track.
Am
Well, if you go, you can't come 
back,
Am
Well, if you go, you can't come 
back.
Am
Well, if you go, you can't come 
back,
Am
If you go, you can't come back.
Am          Em7 Am
If you go...You can't come back.

[Verse 2]
       Am
Well I wouldn't give a nickel for 
the bum I used to be.
                        Em7 Am
Work as hard as any man in  town.

I got a purty gal, she thinks the 
world of me.
  E7                             
A man would be a fool to let her 
Am
down.

Go bum again... Go bum again.


[Refrain]
A                G               
Hear the whistle blow...Hear the 
        A   Am
whistle blow.

Click-e-ty clack, Click-e-ty clack,

The wheels are sayin' to the 
railroad track.

Well, if you go, you can't come 
back,
Am
Well, if you go, you can't come 
back.
Am
Well, if you go, you can't come

If you go, you can't come back.
Am          Em7 Am
If you go...You can't come back.


[Verse 3]
   Am
So ev'ry night I listen, wonder if 
it's late,
                           Em7 
In my dreams I'm ridin' on that 
 Am
train.

I feel my pulse a beatin' with that 
old fast freight,
    E7                           
And thank the Lord I'm just a bum 
   Am
a-gain.

Go bum again... Go bum again.


[Refrain]
A                G

        A    Am
whistle blow.

Click-e-ty clack, Click-e-ty clack,

Well, if you go, you can't come

If you go...You can't come back.
