[C] [G7] [C] [C]
[C] Freight train, Freight train, [G7] running so fast
[G7] Freight train, Freight train, [C] run so fast
[E7] Please don’t tell what [F] train I'm on
So they [C] won’t know what [G7] route I’ve [C] gone
{c: }
[C] When I am dead and [G7] in my grave
[G7] No more good times [C] here I crave
[E7] Place the stones at my [F] head and feet
Tell them [C] all that I’ve [G7] gone to [C] sleep.

[C] When I die, Lord [G7] bury me deep
[G7] Way down on old [C] Chestnut street
[E7] Then I can hear old [F] Number 9
As she [C] comes [G7] rolling [C] by.
