Fast Freight Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]As I listen for the whistle,
lie awake and wait.
Wish the railroad didn't run so near,
'Cause the rattle and clatter of that old fast freight
keeps a- makin' music [B]in my [E]ear.
[Em]Go bum again. Go bum
[E]again. Oo-

[Verse 2]
[E][Chorus]
Hear the whistle [D]blow. Hear the whistle [E]blow.
[Em]Clic[E]kety clack, clickety clack.
[Em]The wheels are saying
to the [E]railroad track.
Well, [Em]if y[E]ou go, y[Em]ou can't come back. If you go[E],
you can't come back.
If you [Em]go, you can't come [E]back.

[Verse 3]
Well, [E]I wouldn't g[Em]ive a nickel for the bum I use to be,
work as hard as any man in town.
I got a purty gal. She thinks
the world of me.
Man would be a fool to let her [E]down. [Em]Go bum [E]again. Go
bum [Em]again. [E]Ooh

[Verse 4]
[E][Chorus]
So every night I listen,
[Em]wonder if it[E]'s late.
[Em]In my dreams I'm ridin'
on [E]that train.[Em]
[E]I feel my pulse a- beatin' wit[Em]h that old fast freight
[E]and thank the Lord I'm just a [B]bum [E]again.
Go bum [Em]again. [E]Go bum
[Em]again. [E]Ooh
