Intro: E A E A 
 
E                   A 
He ran hard, he ran fast 
                            E 
A fallen angel on a weekend pass 
                                   A 
Never looked forward, never looked back 
 
A blaze of glory down a one way track 
 
E                   B 
I hear the whistle, I hear the rumble 
       A              E 
And at 2am outside my door 
E                   B 
Must be your memory rattlin' the shutters 
     A                                    E   A 
That train don't run by here no more 
 
E                                          A 
Oh yeah, we were rollin' in the wild, wild days 
                                  E 
He kept on going and I changed my ways 
                                 A 
Now I'm a good girl, I do what's right 
 
Still sometimes in the middle of the night 
 
E                   B 
I hear the whistle, I hear the rumble 
       A              E 
And at 2am outside my door 
E                   B 
Must be your memory rattlin' the shutters 
     A 
That train don't run by here no more 
 
C#m 
I lie and listen to the last boxcar 
A                  B 
Sweet dreams baby, wherever you are 
E       A                         E      A 
        Wherever you are 
 
     E                   B 
Yeah I hear the whistle, I hear the rumble 
       A              E 
And at 2am outside my door 
E                   B 
Must be your memory rattlin' the shutters 
     A 
That train don't run by here no more 
E       A 
        No more 
E       A     E (hold) 
E       A x3 
 
E 
That train don't run 
A                               E 
That train don't run by here no more
