(Capo on 3)
(Am) x 8
I (Am)just came down from Chippewa, had as (F)station wagon and a hundred dollars
(G)Thinkin' about the girl I'd lost a (Am)year before
I hadn't seen her for some time, thought (F)I might go on by
When your (G)memory came floodin' in and you (Am)closed that door
(Chorus)
Wish it was a (Am) freight train baby, wish it was a (F)diesel locomotive
I'd come (G)whistlin' down your track (Am)crashin' in your door
Wish it was a freight train baby, wish it didn't (F)have a heart
You need a (G)shovel for the coal (Am)just to get me started
Wish it was a freight train baby, wish it was a (F) freight train baby
Wish it was a (D) freight train (Am)
Well (Am)every time I talk to you I (F)hear your jealous lines
I (G)feel like I've been left abandoned on (Am)some old railway side
And every time I hear your voice my (F)water just gets cold
My (G)stoker will not stoke and my (Am)boiler will not boil.

Well (Am)every time I fell behind I (F)could not get ahead
I (G)wish someone would pull the lever and (Am)give me a little sand
And every time I slip behind (F)even further back
I (G)wish some switch man would come out of the (Am)fog and change my track
