Alan Jackson - Freight Train

( capo on 3 )

intro . : ( Em ) x 8

i ( Em ) just came down from chippewa , had as ( C ) station wagon and a hundred dollars
( D ) thinkin’ about the girl i’d lost A ( Em ) year before
i hadn’t seen her for some time , thought ( C ) i might go on by
when your ( D ) memory came floodin’ in and you ( Em ) closed that door

( chorus )
wish it was A ( Em ) freight train baby , wish it was A ( C ) diesel locomotive
i’d come ( D ) whistlin’ down your track ( Em ) crashin’ in your door
wish it was a freight train baby , wish it didn’t ( C ) have a heart
you need A ( D ) shovel for the coal ( Em ) just to get me started
wish it was a freight train baby , wish it was A ( C ) freight train baby
wish it was A ( D ) freight train ( Em )

well ( Em ) every time i talk to you i ( C ) hear your jealous lines
i ( D ) feel like i’ve been left abandoned on ( Em ) some old railway side
and every time i hear your voice my ( C ) water just gets cold
my ( D ) stoker will not stoke and my ( Em ) boiler will not boil .

well ( Em ) every time i fell behind i ( C ) could not get ahead
i ( D ) wish someone would pull the lever and ( Em ) give me a little sand
and every time i slip behind ( C ) even further back
i ( D ) wish some switch man would come out of the ( Em ) fog and change my track
