Intro
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch
When I was a boy in the days of the train,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
I'd sit by the tracks on a long summer day,
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch
And I'd wave at the brakeman, and he'd wave back at me,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch
While the thunderclouds rolled out of East Tennessee.
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch
But the dreams of a boy disappear when you're grown,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And though I may dream, the railroads are gone,
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch
The ties, they are rotting, and the tracks shot to hell,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Dsus4[/ch
Along with my dreams and the old railroad bell.
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch
In my dreams I ride the rails to California,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch
Workin' diners and farms along the way,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch
Or I'd hop a ride to hide across the border,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
With a black-eyed girl beside me all the way.
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
N.C. [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch]
But now the mountains are silent, and the railroads are gone,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And the coal towns no longer hear the miners at dawn,
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch
But the train whistle shrills out her memories to me,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Dsus4[/ch
While the thunderclouds roll out of East Tennessee.
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch
In my dreams I ride the rails to California,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch
Workin' diners and farms along the way,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch
Or I'd hop a ride to hide across the border,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
With a black-eyed girl beside me all the way.
