Fred Eaglesmith - Freight Train guitar chord

FREIGHT TRAIN Fred Eaglesmith

Intro: Am''' F''' G''' Am'''

A F

Well I just came down the Chippewa, I had a station wagon and hundred dollars,

G Am

I was thinkin' 'bout the girl I'd lost the year before.

Am F

I hadn't seen her for some time, I thought that I might go on by,

G Am

When your memory came floodin' in and closed that door.

Chorus:

Am F

Wish I was a freight train, baby, wish I was a diesel locomotive,

G Am

I'd come whistlin' down your track and crashin' in your door.

Am F

Wish I was a freight train, baby, wish I didn't have a heart,

G Am

And you'd need a shovel full of coal just to get me started.

Am E

Wish I was a freight train, baby, wish I was a freight train.

Every time I talk to you, I hear your jealous lies,

I feel like I've been left abandoned on some old railway siding.

And every time I hear your voice, my water just gets cold,

My stoker will not stoke and my boiler will not boil.

(Chorus and repeat Intro)

Every time I fell behind and I could not get ahead,

I wish someone would pull a lever and give me a little sand.

And every time I slipped behind, hey, even further back,

I wish some switch man would come out of the fog and change my track.

(Chorus)
