Tom: Em
Em Em Em Em Em Em Em D
[Verse 1]
Em
Every time I hear the whistle whine
D
From a lonesome locomotive coming down the line
C Em
It carries my mind away to another place in time
Am Em D
When train travelin across the land was the only way to fly
Em
Am I a fool to think it glamorous
D
Box carring like a hobo it must have been rough
Em
But a simpler way of life is what it really means to me
Am D
When we weren’t so dependent on money to be free
[Chorus]
C D Em
I hear you train are you travelin my way
C D
Let me ride your rails right back to yesterday
C D Em C D
Who knows what I could see from that old time machine
Em D Em
But there you go again train travelin
C D Em
There you go again train travelin
[Verse 2]
Em
I’m lying on a rotten wooden floor
D
Smell yesterday’s whiskey here rattling at the door
C Em
A railroad man looking for me I’m as scared as I can be
Am D
I open my eyes and realise it’s just another dream
[Chorus]
C D Em
I hear you train are you travelin my way
C D
Let me ride your rails right back to yesterday
C D Em C D
Who knows what I could see from that old time machine
Em D Em
But there you go again train travelin
C D Em
There you go again train travelin
[Outro]
C D Em
There you go again train travelin
