I Like Trains chords by Fred Eaglesmith

Intro:
Am E
Am E

Am
Sixteen miles from Arkadelphia
E
right near the Texas border
E
traffic was stopped at a railway crossing
 E7       Am
I took it to the shoulder
 Am
I stoked the kettle I put it to the metal
 F
I shook the gravel loose
 E
I missed the train but I was happy with
 E7       A
a glimpse of the caboose

Chorus:
       Am
Cause I like trains
    F
I like fast trains
    E      E7          Am
I like trains that call out through the rain
    Am
I like trains
    F
I like sad trains
    E      E7      Am
I like trains that whisper your name


Am
I was born on a greyhound bus
E
My momma was a diesel engine
   E
they tried to put me behind the wheel
E7         Am
but I wouldn't let them.
  Am
You should have seen the look in their eyes
  F
and how it turned to tears
    E         E7      Am
when I finally told them I wanna be an Engineer

Chorus:
       Am
Cause I like trains
    F
I like fast trains
    E      E7          Am
I like trains that call out through the rain
    Am
I like trains
    F
I like sad trains
    E      E7      Am
I like trains that whisper your name

F
now you think I've got someone new
  G
but darlin' that ain't true
F             E       E7
I could never love another woman besides you
Am
It's not some dewy-eyed
    F
darlin', darlin' that's gonna drive you insane
E
but anymore I'd be listenin' for
  E7         Am
the sound of a big ol' train

Chorus:
       Am
Cause I like trains
    F
I like fast trains
    E      E7          Am
I like trains that call out through the rain
    Am
I like trains
    F
I like sad trains
    E      E7      Am  E7      Am
I like trains that whisper your name, whisper your name
