[Verse 1]
[G]Com[Baug]e on,[G][Baug][G]
[D]let[G]'s cat[Baug]ch the A tr[Em]ain.[Baug]
[A]If you ever wan[G]t to [D]get to
[Bm]Har [Baug]lem.[G][Am][Adim]
[A]Cli[B]ckety -cl[G]ackety -clickety -clack,
whoo [Baug]-whoo,
listen for [A]the [Baug]A train.
[Ebdim]You'll find it's[G] the quick[D]est way
to get to [G]Harlem
[C]Listen, [D]lis[G]ten[C],
[G]you can[Ebdim] hear it comin[Am]g dow[A]n the track,[D] tra[C]ck[G][C]
[G]Come on, let's [D]get on [C]board[Am]
[D]Din[G]g, dong, ding, dong, din[C]g,
[Em]listen for the [Baug]A -Train
[A]Go [Baug]park yo[A]ur car,
[C#]don'[D]t park it far,
we'll [G]be right [Em]back[E]
I [A]dream of [B]Jeannie
with the [A]light brown hair
[F#m]Oh, how I [B]wish she was[Baug]
[Faug]there[B]
[Baug]So I cou[Bm]ld share the bliss
of [E]just one little kiss
While I [C#m]was standing in the [F#]rain,
while I was [Bm]waiting for the [E]train
I [A]knew that I should [B]hurry,
cause I knew [F#m]she'd worry
if [B]I should ever be late
I [Bm]couldn't afford to [E]wait,
so I [A]went out looking for
the A [D#dim]train[A]
[D]As I started [Bm]walking down the [D]long, [G]track
The [D]people started talking
and I talked right back
Sud[B]denly everything [Ebdim]became hazy
I [D]suddenly thought that I was going crazy
[C#]Till[B] I met a fello[A]w on the track
[B]With [A]a shovel on h[F#m]is back
and I knew [C#]he co[B]uldn't be
[Baug]wrong no[B]w[D][A][E]
I [D]sing a [A]joyous song,
[E]I hope you g[A]o a[B]long with m[D#dim]e[C#sus4]
[B][D#dim][G#m][C#sus4][C#][G#m][C#]
Can't wait for [C#m]me to get my
hands on [E]her [F#]shoulders,
[B]cause [D#dim]nights here in New Yo[B]rk they get
[C#m]colder[G#m][B][G#m][B][C#sus4][C#]
[D#]Well[C#], craz[C#m]y folks
who dig my [E]jokes,
they [F#sus4]know I'm never jiving[F#]
[B]Now is the [E]time to [B]be a hitting [A]of town
[B]But[E] you[B]'d better not believe
that this is just a silly guy's little romance
Just to start a lover's af[G#m]fair
It's just [C#]my A -[B]train
seemingly [G#m]passed me by
[C#]Guess [F#]I'd bett[E]er keep walk[F#]ing,
[C#m]leavin[F#]g you people talkin[B]g
[G#m][C#][G][Baug][C#][B]
[C#m]
Don't stop me [F#]till I get to Central Park
[Em]I gotta be in [A]Harlem
before the skies [B]get dark
[A]I w[D]ann[C#m]a be with Jeannie
so I can cause the spark
[F#]Go with my Jeann[B]ie
with the light brown [D#]hair
[G#m]A train,
[C#m]come along and carry me there[B]

[Outro 1]
