I Like Trains chords by Fred Eaglesmith

Chords with lyrics

Intro:
A minorAm E MajorE
A minorAm E MajorE

A minorAm
Sixteen miles from Arkadelphia
E MajorE
right near the Texas border
E MajorE
traffic was stopped at a railway crossing
 E7E7       A minorAm
I took it to the shoulder
 A minorAm
I stoked the kettle I put it to the metal
 FF
I shook the gravel loose
 E MajorE
I missed the train but I was happy with
 E7E7       A augmentedA
a glimpse of the caboose

Chorus:
       A minorAm
Cause I like trains
    FF
I like fast trains
    E MajorE      E7E7          A minorAm
I like trains that call out through the rain
    A minorAm
I like trains
    FF
I like sad trains
    E MajorE      E7E7      A minorAm
I like trains that whisper your name


A minorAm
I was born on a greyhound bus
E MajorE
My momma was a diesel engine
   E MajorE
they tried to put me behind the wheel
E7E7         A minorAm
but I wouldn't let them.
  A minorAm
You should have seen the look in their eyes
  FF
and how it turned to tears
    E MajorE         E7E7      A minorAm
when I finally told them I wanna be an Engineer

Chorus:
       A minorAm
Cause I like trains
    FF
I like fast trains
    E MajorE      E7E7          A minorAm
I like trains that call out through the rain
    A minorAm
I like trains
    FF
I like sad trains
    E MajorE      E7E7      A minorAm
I like trains that whisper your name

FF
now you think I've got someone new
  G+G
but darlin' that ain't true
FF             E MajorE       E7E7
I could never love another woman besides you
A minorAm
It's not some dewy-eyed
    FF
darlin', darlin' that's gonna drive you insane
E MajorE
but anymore I'd be listenin' for
  E7E7         A minorAm
the sound of a big ol' train

Chorus:
       A minorAm
Cause I like trains
    FF
I like fast trains
    E MajorE      E7E7          A minorAm
I like trains that call out through the rain
    A minorAm
I like trains
    FF
I like sad trains
    E MajorE      E7E7      A minorAm  E7E7      A minorAm
I like trains that whisper your name, whisper your name
