Watching the Trains Go Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Woo, he's watchin' the choo choo,
[A]Woo, he watchin' the train!

[Verse 2]
[A]Watchin' [D]the trains go by,
[A]watchin' the trains go [Em]by
[A]Wish I had [Ebdim]the ticket that I [A]can't afford
[Em]Hear[A] tha[D]t old conductor[A]
[Aaug]holler "[D]All Aboard!"
[F#m]Wonder [D]how this world looks,
out[A]side of picture books

[Verse 3]
[A]Rocky mountains,
rollin' plains an' desert skies
Passin' [D]be [G]fore my [D]eyes
When the [F#m]whistle [F#]blows [F#m]toot toot toot,
The engine goes chug chug
And I [Em]hear that bell go
clang clang clang,
And my heart gives a [A]tug tug tug

[Verse 4]
[D]Watchin' the trains go by,
[A]I'm just a small town guy
Wishin' I could hurry [D]up
an' [E]start [A]to pack
[D]Grab my gal and hop [F#m]the train
[B]an' not come back
In[E]stead of that I'm sit[C#]ting by
the [D]railroad [B]track,
[E]Watchin' the [A]trains go by,
[B]wat[E]chin' the tra[A]ins go [D]by!

[Verse 5]
There's [D]a choo choo
comin' down the track,
I can almost see it's smoky stack
But it ain't no [Eb]use, alas I lack
[D]Guess I'll alw[A]ays be [D]here,
watchin' [G]the trains go [A]by!
Oh! [D]how I'd love to stop it! [A](
Watchin' the trains go by! )
How I'd love to hop it!
Wish I had a ticket that I [Em]can't
[A]afford ( Ho Ho Ho! [D])
Hear that old con[A]ductor holler [D]"Yes,
All Aboard!"
( I often wonder how [G]this [D]world looks
. . . ) Like to see some traffic!
[A]( outside of picture books . . . ) Outside
the National Geographic!
Rocky mountains, rollin' [D]plains [Em]an' deser
[A]t skies ( Ho Ho Ho! [D])
Passin' before my eyes
When [F#m]the whistle blows toot toot toot,
The [F#]en gine goes chug ch[F#m]ug chug ch[B]ug
And I [E]hear that bell go
clang clang clang,
And my [Em]heart gives a tug tug [A]tug

[Verse 6]
I'm [D]watchin' the trains go by,
[A]I'm just a small town guy
Wishin' I could hurry [Ebdim]up
an' [A]start to [D]pack
Grab my gal and [A]hop the train
an' [F#m]not come ba[B]ck
In[Em]stead of that I'm sitting
by the [D]rail[B]road track,
[Em]Watchin' [A]the trains go by,
[D]wat[Bm]chin'[Em] the trains go by![D]
Woo, I'm watchin' the trains go by .
. . Watchin' the trains [G]go [D]by . . .
Woo, I'm watchin' the trains go [Em].
[A]. . Watchin' the trains go [D]by . . .
