Verse 1 
      D           G               A               D     D/C# Bm 
When Jenny was a little girl she only dreamed of trains 
                       G        A 
She never played with dolls or lacy kinds of things 
 D             G          A                D    D/C# Bm 
Jenny counted boxcars instead of counting sheep 
              G        A                D 
She could go anywhere when she went to sleep 
 
Verse 2 
     D        G                A             D   D/C# Bm 
All she ever talked about was gettin' on to ride 
                   G            A 
She was livin' in another time you could see it in her eyes 
 D        G                  A                D    D/C# Bm 
Everyday after school she'd head down to the tracks 
                 G              A            D 
Waitin' for the train that was never comin' back 
 
Chorus 
       G      A   D 
Jenny dreamed of trains 
          G   A     D 
When the nighttime came 
 G      A            Bm           E  G 
Nobody knew how she made it come true 
       A          D 
Jenny dreamed of trains 
 
Verse 3 
     D            G               A                    D   D/C# Bm 
The depot's been boarded up, the rails have turned to rust 
                     G                 A 
There hasn't been a train through her since the mill went bust 
D         G                   A                  D    D/C# Bm 
No one believed her when she said she heard the train 
                     G           A            D 
Said she was just a little girl actin' kinda strange

Verse 4 
 D            G    A                  D  D/C# Bm 
Jenny laid a penny on the tracks one day 
           G     A 
in God we trust she walked away 
 D             G       A                  D   D/C# 
The very next mornin' all that she could find 
       Bm              G               A              D 
was a little piece of copper squashed flatter than a dime
