KEY OF D
Harmonica Opening
C When I was a little boy I used to lie in my bed
and listen for the '9:0{G}9'
It F never ran on Christmas or the C day that Jesus died
but every other day it G ran on C time
It C always made me lonesome but it brought me comfort
and what it did to me I can't ex{G}plain
And F as I wonder through this C harsh and gentle world
Oh every now and then I G wish I was a C train
Chrous
F Roll on roll on into the dark C night
F Leavin' all my troubles be{G}hind
F Carryin' my soul C far far away
Oh every now and then
I G wish I was a C train Harmonica Break
C I loaded trucks in Isa rode the dingo fences
cursed the ganger on the western G line
F Started throwin' punches in a C bar at Charters Towers
They threw the book at me G I did my C time
Chorus
Bridge
F Cause a train don't weep a C train don't feel
F heartache C sadness and G pain
And F when I die just C let my spirit ride
on the boxcar of an G ever rollin' {C}train
Chorus Harmonica End
