[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
The clickety [D]sound [G]of the
southbound [D]freight
And the high speed hum of
a passenger [A]train
Becomes a part [D]of the soul
and a heart and the [Bm]mind
Of a [F#m]boy who's raised
[A]by the railroad lin[D]e

[Verse 2]
The sound of [D]a whistle [G]at the
crossin' [D]road
And the tanks and the trucks and the
tractors on the [A]flatcar load
Becomes a part [D]of the soul
and a heart and the [Bm]mind
Of a boy who's [F#m]raised
[A]by the railroad lin[D]e

[Verse 3]
And the big round [G]penny that you
[F#m]lay on the ra[Em]ils
And the [A]wheels mash [D]flat
And a glimpse of the [G]faces of the [F#m]ladies
And the pic[Em]ture of the men
in the [D]engineer's [A]hat

[Verse 4]
And the brakeman [D]waves
from the [G]red [D]caboose
He's a part of the past,
never quite turns [A]loose
It's a part [D]of the soul and
a heart and the [Bm]mind
Of a [F#m]boy who's ra[A]ised by the railroad
[D]line[A]
[D][Bm][F#m][A]

[Verse 5]
[D]
And the big round [G]penny that you
[F#m]lay on the ra[Em]ils
And the [A]wheels mash [D]flat
And a glimpse of the [G]faces of the [F#m]ladies
And the [Em]picture of the men
in the [D]engineer's [A]hat

[Verse 6]
And the brakeman [D]waves
from the [G]red caboose
[D]He's a part of the past,
never quite turns [A]loose
It's a part [D]of the soul and
a heart and the [Bm]mind
Of a boy who's [F#m]raised
[A]by the railroad lin[D]e

[Verse 7]
The clickety [D]sound [G]of
the southbound [D]freight
And the high speed hum of
a passenger [A]train
Becomes a part of the [D]soul
and a heart and the [Bm]mind
Of a [A]boy who's raised by the railroad line
