Yonder Comes A Freight Train Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I hopped a freight train out of Nashville,
rode it up to Ohio
Felt my way on into Detroit,
stayed there for a month or so
Caught a [G]ride to Chicago
with a truck -driving man
[D]Stayed there for the summer,
singing with a country band
Every [A]time I heard a freight train's
lonesome whistle blow
I [D]think about the good girl
I had [A]waitin' for me at [D]home
[G]Yonder comes a freight train
movin' on down the line
Yon[D]der comes a freight train,
listen to that engine whine
Hittin' [A]on that old train
Goin' back to that good,
good girl of [D]mine
Hopped the freight out of Chicago
Thought that it was southern bound
Ended up in New York City
Where they travel underground
Stole a [G]ride on a fruit truck
Went through Charlotte to L .A.
Got a ride [D]back to Atlanta
Like those towns but couldn't stay
Load with a [A]couple of Chattanooga
Goin' to see Ruby Falls
130 [D]miles from Nashville,
I'll get [A]home if I have to [D]go
Yon[G]ica on the freight train,
movin' on down the line
Yon[D]ica on the freight train,
listen to that engine whine
Gettin' [A]on that old train
Goin' back to that good,
good girl of [D]mine
[G]Johnny comes a freight train
Movin' on down the line
[D]Johnny comes a freight train
Listen to that Indian whine
