Well I [Am] just came down the Chippewa
I had a [F] station wagon and a hundred dollars
I was [G] thinkin’ ‘bout the girl I’d lost
The [Am] year before [Am]

Well I [Am] just came down the Chippewa
I had a [F] station wagon and a hundred dollars
I was [G] thinkin’ ‘bout the girl I’d lost
The [Am] year before [Am]
Well I [Am] hadn’t seen her for some time
[F] I thought that I might go on by
When your [G] memory came floodin’ in
And [Am] closed that door [Am]
Wish I was a [Am] freight train baby
Wish I was a [F] diesel locomotive
I’d come [G] whistlin’ down your track
And [Am] crashin’ in your door
Wish I was a [Am] freight train baby
Wish I didn’t [F] have a heart
And you’d need a [G] shovel full of coal
[Am] Just to get me started
Wish I was a [Am] freight train baby
Wish I was a [E7] freight [E7] train [E7] / [E7] / [E7] /
[E7] / [E7] / [E7] / [E7]/
[Am] Every time I talk to you, well I [F] hear your jealous lies
I feel like [G] I’ve been left abandoned
On some [Am] old railway sidin’
And [Am] every time I hear your voice, my [F] water just gets cold
My [G] stoker will not stoke, and my [Am] boiler will not boil

[Am] Every time I fell behind and I [F] could not get ahead
I wish some-[G]one would pull a lever
And give [Am] me a little sand
And [Am] every time I slipped behind, hey [F] even further back
I wish some [G] switch man would come out of the fog
And [Am] change my track
Wish I was a [Am] freight train baby
Wish I was a [F] diesel locomotive
I’d come [G] whistlin’ down your track
