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