Freight Train Chords by Alan Jackson

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I just came down from Chippewa, [Eb] had a station wagon and a hundred [F] dollars, thinking about
the girl I'd [Gm] lost a year before. _
I hadn't seen her for some time, [Eb] thought I might go on [Cm] by when [F] your memory came flooding
in [Gm] and you closed that door.
Wish I was a freight train baby, wish [Eb] I was a diesel locomotive, [F] I'd come a-whistling
down your track [Gm] and crashing in your door.
[F] Wish [Gm] I was a freight train baby, wish [Eb] I didn't have a heart, [F] you'd need a shovel for the
coal [Gm] just to get me started.
Wish I was a freight train baby, wish [Eb] I was a freight train [F] baby, wish I was a freight train.
[Gm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Well, every time I talk to you, [Eb] I hear your jealous lies.
[F] I feel like I've been left abandoned [Gm] on some old railway side.
And every time I hear your voice, [Eb] my water just gets cold.
[F] My stoker will not stoke [Gm] and my boiler will not boil.
Wish I was a freight train baby, wish [Eb] I was a diesel [F] locomotive, I'd come a-whistling
down your track [Gm] and crashing in your door.
Wish I was a freight train baby, wish [Eb] I didn't have a heart, [F] you'd need a shovel for the
coal [Gm] just to get me started.
Wish I was a freight train baby, wish [Eb] I was a freight train baby, wish [F] I was a freight _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ train.

_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ every time I fell [Eb] behind, I could not get ahead.
[F] I wish someone would hold the [Gm] lever and give me a little sand.
And every time I slip [Eb] behind, even further [Gm] back, [F] I wish some switchman would come [Gm] out
of the fog and change my track.
Wish I was a freight train baby, [Eb] wish I was a diesel locomotive, [F] I'd come a-whistling
down your track, [Gm] crashing in your [Dm] door.
Wish [Gm] I was a freight train baby, [Eb] wish I didn't have a heart, [F] you'd need a shovel for the
coal [Gm] just to get me started.
Wish I was a freight train baby, [Eb] wish I was a freight train [F] baby, wish I was a freight train.
