Chris Knight The sound of a train not running chords
Start Jamming...
[N] [C] [G]
[Em] [C] [G]
The sound of a train not running has [Em] been keeping me [Gm] awake
[G] Westmoreland mine ain't run much coal [Em] since back [G] in 88
[C] Got [G]
on at the sawmill but I gotta [A] find a better [Gm] way
Oh [F#m] the sound of a train not running [A] is gonna [C] carry [G] me away
And every time you look at [Em] me, Mary, [C] I wanna tell you [G] someday
[F#m] Leave the sound of a train not running [C] a thousand [G] miles away
I don't wanna risk my freedom growing [Em] crops on company [G] land
But it'd be a damn sight better than a government [Em] check in my [C] hand
I [G] used to bring on good money, used to drive [Em] a decent [G] car
But [D] now we're going to town on Saturday, [C] it seems a little too [G] far
And every time [Em] you look at me, Mary, [C] I wanna tell you [G] someday
Leave [F#m] the sound of a train not running [D] [C] a thousand [G] miles away
Now [Em]
[C] [G]
[Em]
[C] [G]
some nights when I baby cry, [Em] I feel a [G] twinge of fear
When [D] the sound of a train not running is [C] the only thing [G] I hear
And every time you [Em] look at me, Mary, [C] I wanna tell [G] you someday
[F#m] Leave the sound of a train [D] not running [C] a thousand miles [G] away
And every [Em] time you look at me, Mary, [C] I wanna tell you [G] someday
Leave [D] the sound of a train not running [C] a [G] thousand miles away
