Freight Train - Alan Jackson

			(Capo on 3)
 
Intro.:  (Em) x8
 
I (Em) just came down from Chippewa, had as (C) station wagon and a hundred dollars
(D) Thinkin- about the girl I-d lost a (Em) year before
I hadn-t seen her for some time, thought (C) I might go on by
When your (D) memory came floodin- in and you (Em) closed that door
 
(Chorus)
        Wish it was a (Em) freight train baby, wish it was a (C) diesel locomotive
        I-d come (D) whistlin- down your track (Em) crashin- in your door
        Wish it was a freight train baby, wish it didn-t (C) have a heart
        You need a (D) shovel for the coal (Em) just to get me started
        Wish it was a freight train baby, wish it was a (C) freight train baby
        Wish it was a (D) freight train (Em)
 
Well (Em) every time I talk to you I (C) hear your jealous lines
I (D) feel like I-ve been left abandoned on (Em) some old railway side
And every time I hear your voice my (C) water just gets cold
My (D) stoker will not stoke and my (Em) boiler will not boil.
 
Chorus.

        | (Em) | (Em) | (C) | (C) | (D) | (D) | (Em) | (Em) | (Em) | (Em)
 
Well (Em) every time I fell behind I (C) could not get ahead
I (D) wish someone would pull the lever and (Em) give me a little sand
And every time I slip behind (C) even further back
I (D) wish some switch man would come out of the (Em) fog and change my track
 
Chorus.
