Freight Train [Em] - Alan Jackson
[Intro]
[Em] | [Em] | [Em] | [Em] | x2
[Verse 1]
I [Em] just came down from Chippewa, had a [C] station wagon and a hundred dollars
[D] Thinkin' about the girl I'd lost a [Em] year before
I hadn't [Em] seen her for some time, thought [C] I might go on by
When your [D] memory came floodin' in and you [Em] closed that door
|[Chorus]
|Wish I was a [Em] freight train baby, wish I was a [C] diesel locomotive
|I'd come [D] whistlin' down your track [Em] crashin' in your door
|Wish I was a [Em] freight train baby, wish I didn't [C] have a heart
|You need a [D] shovel for the coal [Em] just to get me started
|Wish I was a [Em] freight train baby, wish I was a [C] freight train baby
|Wish I was a [D] freight train [Em]
[Verse 2]
Well, [Em] every time I talk to you I [C] hear your jealous lies
I [D] feel like I've been left abandoned on [Em] some old railway side
And [Em] every time I hear your voice my [C] water just gets cold
My [D] stoker will not stoke and my [Em] boiler will not boil.
[Chorus]
Instrumental:
[Em] [Em] [C] [C] [D] [D] [Em] [Em]
[Em] [Em] [C] [C] [D] [D] [Em] [Em] [Em] [Em]
[Verse 3]
Well, [Em] every time I fell behind I [C] could not get ahead
I [D] wish someone would pull the lever and [Em] give me a little sand
And [Em] every time I slip behind [C] even further back
I [D] wish some switch man would come out of the [Em] fog and change my track
|[Chorus]
|Wish I was a [Em] freight train baby, wish I was a [C] diesel locomotive
|I'd come [D] whistlin' down your track [Em] crashin' in your door
|Wish I was a [Em] freight train baby, wish I didn't [C] have a heart
|You need a [D] shovel for the coal [Em] just to get me started
|Wish I was a [Em] freight train baby, wish I was a [C] freight train baby
|Wish I was a [D] freight train [Em]
