I Wish I Was A Train


CAPO 2nd Fret [Harmonica intro] [C] When I was a little boy I used to lie in my bed and listen for the [G] '9:09' It [F] never ran on Christmas or the [C] day that Jesus died but every other day it [G] ran on [C] time It [C] always made me lonesome but it brought me comfort and what it did to me I can't [G] explain And [F] as I wonder through this [C] harsh and gentle world Oh every now and then I [G] wish I was a [C] train [Chorus] [F] Roll on roll on into the dark [C] night [F] Leavin' all my troubles [G] behind [F] Carryin' my soul [C] far far away Oh every now and then I [G] wish I was a [C] train [Harmonica Break] [C] I loaded trucks in Isa rode the dingo fences cursed the ganger on the western [G] line [F] Started throwin' punches in a [C] bar at Charters Towers They threw the book at me [G] I did my [C] time [Repeat Chorus] [Bridge] [F] Cause a train don't weep a [C] train don't feel [F] heartache [C] sadness and [G] pain And [F] when I die just [C] let my spirit ride on the boxcar of an [G] ever rollin' [C] train [Repeat Chorus] Harmonica End
