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 

Chorus 

              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 

Chorus 

              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 

Chorus 

              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

                                   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
