G D7 G D7 G
Train train train I've got a thing about trains
D7 G
I get a sad kind of feelin'
G7 C
When I see a passenger train
G
In this fast movin' world that we live in
A7 D7
Nobody rides 'em much these days
G D7 G
Maybe I'm a little sentimental
G7 C
Cause I know that things have to change
G
But I'd still like to go for a train ride
D7 G
Cause I've got a thing about trains
D7 G C G
Train train train you're fading from the scene
C G D7 G
But you've had your days of glory train train train
D7 G
Train they say you're too slow for travelin'
G7 C
But I'm gonna miss you some day
G
When my little boy says daddy
A7 D7
What was it like to ride a train
G D7 G
I'll just say it was a good way to travel
G7 C
When things didn't move quite so fast
G
And I'm sorry son that you can't ride one
D7 G
The trains are a thing of the past
D7 G C G
Train train train you're fading from the scene
C G D7 G
And I'm gonna mourn your passing train train train
D7 G
I've got a thing about trains
