When I was a little boy, I used [G] to lie in [D] my bed and listen for the 9 [A]-09 _
It [G] never ran on Christmas or the [D] day that Jesus died, but every [A] other day it ran on [D] time
It always made me lonesome, [G] but it [D] brought me comfort
What it did for me, I can't [A] explain
And [G] as I wander through [D] this harsh and gentle world, oh every now and then [A] I wish I [D] was a train _
[G] Roll on, roll on [D] into the dark night
[G] Leaving [D] all my troubles [A] behind _ _
[G] Carrying my soul [D] far, [Bm] far away
[D] Oh every now and then [A] I wish [D] I was a train
_ _ [G] _ [D] _ [A] _ [D] _ _ _
_ Load the trucks in Iser, [G] roll the [D] dingo fancy
Cursed the gang on the [A] Western line _
_ [G] Started throwing punches in [D] a bar in charter's towns.
They threw the book at [A] me.
I did [D] my time
[G] Roll on, roll [D] on
into the dark night
Leaving all my troubles [F#m] [A] behind _ _
[G] Carrying my soul [D] [Bm] far, far away
[D] Oh every now and then I [A] wish [D] I was a train
[Bm] Cause a train don't [A] weep, [D] a train don't fear
[Bm] heartache, sadness [A] and pain
And [Bm] when [G] I die, [D] I'll let my [G] spirit ride
[D] On the boxcar [A] of a never [D] rolling train _
[G] Roll on, roll [D] on into the dark night
[G] Leaving all [D] my troubles [A] behind _
_ [G] Carrying my soul [D] far, [Bm] far away
[D] Oh every now and then [A] I wish I was [Bm] a train _ [D] Oh
Every now and then [A] I wish I [D] was a train
