[Intro]
[Am] [F] [G] [Am]
[Verse1]
Well I [Am]just came down the Chippewa, I had a s[F]station wagon and hundred dollars,
I was [G]thinkin' 'bout the girl I'd lost the [Am]year before.
I [Am]hadn't seen her for some time, I [F]thought that I might go on by,
When your [G]memory came floodin' in and [Am]closed that door.
[Chorus]
Wish I was [Am]a 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 [E]freight train.
[Verse2]
[Am]Every time I talk to you, I[F]I hear your jealous lies,
I feel like [G]I've been left abandoned on some [Am]old railway siding.
[Am]And 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.
[Chorus]
W[Am]Wish I was a 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 [E]freight train.
[Instrumental]
[Am] [F] [G] [Am] [x2]
[Verse3]
[Am]Every time I fell behind and [F]I could not get ahead,
I wish so[G]someone would pull a lever and give [Am]me a little sand.
[Am]And every time I slipped behind, [F]hey, even further back,
I wish some s[G]switch man would come out of the fog and c[Am]change my track.
[Chorus]
W[Am]Wish I was a 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 [E]freight train.
