Freight Train chords
Elizabeth Cotton

Open or capo to suit

C majorC               G7G7
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast,
G+G               C majorC
freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
E7E7           FF
Please don't tell what train I'm on,
    C majorC     G7G7    C majorC
so they won't know where I'm gone.

C majorC               G7G7
Freight train, freight train, goin' round the bend,
G+G               C majorC
freight train, freight train, comin' back again
E7E7             FF
One of these days turn that train around,
    C majorC    G7G7   C majorC
and go back to my home town.

C majorC       G7G7
One more place I'd like to be,
G+G       C majorC
one more place I'd like to see
  E7E7            FF
To watch them old Blue Ridge Mountains climb,
    C majorC    G7G7   C majorC
when I ride old Number Nine.

C majorC        G7G7
When I die Lord, bury me deep,
G+G         C majorC
down at the end of Chestnut Street
E7E7          FF
Where I can hear old Number Nine,
  C majorC     G7G7    c
as she comes down the line.

C majorC               G7G7
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast,
G+G               C majorC
freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
E7E7           FF
Please don't tell what train I'm on,
    C majorC     G7G7    C majorC
so they won't know where I'm gone.
