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]
