I Wish I Was A Train Chords

Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

C When I was a little boy I used to lie in my bed and listen for the G '9:09'

It F never ran on Christmas or the C day that Jesus died

but every other day it G ran on C time

It C always made me lonesome but it brought me comfort

and what it did to me I can't G explain

And F as I wonder through this C harsh and gentle world

Oh every now and then I G wish I was a C train

Chorus

F Roll on roll on into the dark C night

F Leavin' all my troubles G behind

F Carryin' my soul C far far away Oh every now and then

I G wish I was a C train

[Harmonica Break]

C I loaded trucks in Isa rode the dingo fences

cursed the ganger on the western G line

F Started throwin' punches in a C bar at Charters Towers

They threw the book at me G I did my C time

[Repeat Chorus]

Bridge

F Cause a train don't weep a C train don't feel

F heartache C sadness and G pain

And F when I die just C let my spirit ride

on the boxcar of an G ever rollin' C train

[Repeat Chorus]

Harmonica End
