Tom: Am
Am F G
We were married in a fever when
Am F G
we were both eighteen
Am F G
But our fever died so a cold
Am F G C B Am
when we reached twenty-three
[Verse]
Am F G
Now I got me a little boy but
Am F G
I don't get to see him much
Am F G
His Mom, she's remarried well
Am F C B Am
And his new Dad could give him more than love
[Chorus]
Am F G C B Am
Waiting on a train, waiting on a train
Am F G C B Am
The engine's dirty and the cars are plain
Am F G C B Am
Like me he's moving slow but he's got two things on me you know
Am F G C B Am
Diesel power and he feels no pain
[Verse]
Am F G
I'm sitting at this crossing watching
Am F G
those Burlington Northern cars
Am F G
My alternator's discharging and
Am F G C B Am
this old baby she ain't long for parts
[Verse]
Am F G
I wish that I could fix it, you know my
Am F G
Daddy he would have known how
Am F G
But the alcohol it took him away
Am F G C B Am
and only you Lord can help me now
[Chorus]
Am F G C B Am
Waiting on a train, waiting on a train
Am F G C B Am
The engine's dirty and the cars are plain
Am F G C B Am
Like me he's moving slow but he's got
C B A
two things on me you know
Am F G C B Am
Diesel power and he feels no pain
[Solo]
A F G C B A
[Bridge]
Fm G Am
I'm so tired of being lonesome,
Fm G Am
I'm so tired of being blue
Fm G Am
I'm so tired of waiting lonely for
Fm G Am G
the days I could see you
[Chorus]
Am F G C B Am
Waiting on a train, waiting on a train
Am F G C B Am
The engine's dirty and the cars are plain
A F G C B Am
Like me he's moving slow but he's got two things on me you know
Am F G C B Am
Diesel power and he feels no pain
Am F G C B Am
Diesel power and he feels no pain
Am F G C B Am
Diesel power and he feels no pain
