           B7      E        A      E 
When I was young I spent my summer days 
              B7 
layin' on the tracks 
    E            B7    E              A 
The sound of the wheel rollin' on the steel 
        E 
Took me out, took me back 
 

    A          E 
Big train from Memphis 
    A          E 
Big train from Memphis 
         B7        E 
Now it's gone gone gone 
B7        E 
Gone gone gone 
 
Verse 2: 
Like no one before, he let out a roar 
And I just had to tag along 
Each night I went to bed with a sound in my head 
And the dream was a song 
 
(chorus) 
(instrumental) 
 
Verse 3: 
Well I rode 'em in and back out again 
You know what they say about trains 
But I'm tellin' you, since that Memphis train came through 
This whole world's not the same 
 
(chorus) 
 
(play E and fade)
