CAPO 2	 
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
