CAPO 2nd Fret
[Harmonica intro]
[] When I was a little boy I used to lie in my bed and listen for the [] 9:09
It [] never ran on Christmas or the [] day that Jesus died
but every other day it [] ran on [] time
It [] always made me lonesome but it brought me comfort
and what it did to me I can t [] explain
And [] as I wonder through this [] harsh and gentle world
Oh every now and then I [] wish I was a [] train
[Chorus]
[] Roll on roll on into the dark [] night
[] Leavin all my troubles [] behind
[] Carryin my soul [] far far away Oh every now and then
I [] wish I was a [] train
[Harmonica Break]
[] I loaded trucks in Isa rode the dingo fences
cursed the ganger on the western [] line
[] Started throwin punches in a [] bar at Charters Towers
They threw the book at me [] I did my [] time
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge]
[] Cause a train don t weep a [] train don t feel
[] heartache [] sadness and [] pain
And [] when I die just [] let my spirit ride
on the boxcar of an [] ever rollin [] train
[Repeat Chorus]
