Freight Train

[Intro] Em

   Em                                  C
I just came down from Chippewa, had as station wagon and a hundred dollars
D                                  Em
Thinkin' about the girl I'd lost a year before
                                         C
I hadn't seen her for some time, thought I might go on by
         D                                Em
When your memory came floodin' in and you closed that door

[Refrão]

              Em                                        C
Wish it was a  freight train baby, wish it was a diesel locomotive
          D                             Em
I'd come whistlin' down your track crashin' in your door
                                                 C
Wish it was a freight train baby, wish it didn't have a heart
          D                     Em
You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started
                                               C
Wish it was a freight train baby, wish it was a  freight train baby
              D                Em
Wish it was a  freight train

    Em                           C
Well every time I talk to you I hear your jealous lines
 D                                     Em
I feel like I've been left abandoned on some old railway side
                                   C
And every time I hear your voice my water just gets cold
   D                            Em
My  stoker will not stoke and my boiler will not boil

[Refrão]

              Em                                        C
Wish it was a  freight train baby, wish it was a diesel locomotive
          D                             Em
I'd come whistlin' down your track crashin' in your door
                                                 C
Wish it was a freight train baby, wish it didn't have a heart
          D                     Em
You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started
                                               C
Wish it was a freight train baby, wish it was a  freight train baby
              D                Em
Wish it was a  freight train

    Em                           C
Well every time I talk to you I hear your jealous lines
 D                                     Em
I feel like I've been left abandoned on some old railway side
                                   C
And every time I hear your voice my water just gets cold
   D                            Em
My  stoker will not stoke and my boiler will not boil

[Instrumental]  Em  C  D  Em
               Em  C  D  Em

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

[Refrão]

              Em                                        C
Wish it was a  freight train baby, wish it was a diesel locomotive
          D                             Em
I'd come whistlin' down your track crashin' in your door
                                                 C
Wish it was a freight train baby, wish it didn't have a heart
          D                     Em
You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started
                                               C
Wish it was a freight train baby, wish it was a  freight train baby
              D                Em
Wish it was a  freight train

    Em                           C
Well every time I talk to you I hear your jealous lines
 D                                     Em

   D                            Em
My  stoker will not stoke and my boiler will not boil
