Tom T Hall -The Engineers Don't Wave From The Trains Anymore chords
Start Jamming...
The engineers don't wave [G] from the trains anymore
[F] Not like they did [C] back in 1954
They got computers [F] and diesels and things
[C] And the engineers [G] don't wave [C] from the trains [Am] anymore
[C] The engineers [G] don't wave [C] from the trains
Well I was a little boy
[G] I'd hang around the tracks
[F] Watching them trains [C] going to Woodville and back
I had my dreams and I had my plans
[C] I was gonna be an [G] engineer man
But the engineers don't wave [G] from the trains anymore
[F] Not like they did [C] back in 1954
They got computers [F] and diesels and things
[C] And the engineers don't wave from the [G] trains [Am] anymore
The [C] engineers don't wave from the trains
[G] [F]

[F] [C]
[Am]
[G] Them big old trains [G] used to chug-a-chug and spew
[F] They were my heroes [C] and they knew that I knew
No matter how far [F] they snaked down the track
[C] They'd go somewhere and they'd turn around and come back
Oh but the engineers don't wave [G] from the trains anymore
[F] Not like they did [C] back in 1954
They got computers [F] and diesels and things
[C] And the engineers [G] don't wave [C] from the trains [Am] anymore
[C] The engineers [G] don't wave from [C] the trains
There's more important things [G] that changed in the world
[F] Engineers forgot all of [C] us little boys and girls
Still get a far away [F] look in my eye
When I hear [G] an old train [C] tonight
And the engineers don't wave
