Take A Train Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Take [G]a t[C]rain, take a trai[G]n
Leave the [F]whistle, stop behind
[C]Take a train, leave the whi[G]stle,
stop be[C]hind
Well, I've told myself so [G]many times
And I [F]told myself today
[C]But I just think it's [G]someone else
And for[F]get about the train
[C]I lay in bed hal[G]f past twelve
and I [F]heard the whistle blow
[C]Afraid to take a cha[G]nce, my friend,
[F]afraid I'll miss the show
[C]A sizzlin' drink and rum[G] and coke,
the [F]only bar in [C]town
I got into a [G]fight about noth
[F]in' worth my time
[C]I saw my face in a pai[G]nted glass
and I [F]asked the question, why?
[C]I don't know what lie[G]s ahead,
but I'm [F]riding down the line
[C]Take a train, take a tra[G]in,
leave the [F]whistle stoppin' behind
[C]Take a train,
leave the [G]whistle stoppin' be[C]hind[G][F][C][G][C]
Walked the streets of [G]Dallas town
and three [F]days passed me [C]by
I played some cards and [G]lost my shoes
but [F]suckers swung like [C]flies
I thought about that and
[G]whistled out
[F]Appalachian 65
[C]I hopped the freight and h[G]eaded home
to [F]lead a simple [C]life
Take a train, take a [G]train
leave the [F]whistle, behind
[C]Take a train, leave the whi[G]stle,
stop be[C]hind[G][C]
[G][C]
