CAPO 2nd Fret

[Harmonica intro]

[C] When I was a little boy I used to lie in my bed and listen for the [G] '9:09'
It [F] never ran on Christmas or the [C] day that Jesus died
but every other day it [G] ran on [C] time
It [C] always made me lonesome but it brought me comfort
and what it did to me I can't [G] explain
And [F] as I wonder through this [C] harsh and gentle world
Oh every now and then I [G] wish I was a [C] train

[Chorus]
[F] Roll on roll on into the dark [C] night
[F] Leavin' all my troubles [G] behind
[F] Carryin' my soul [C] far far away Oh every now and then
I [G] wish I was a [C] train

[Harmonica Break]

[C] I loaded trucks in Isa rode the dingo fences
cursed the ganger on the western [G] line
[F] Started throwin' punches in a [C] bar at Charters Towers
They threw the book at me [G] I did my [C] time

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]

[F] Cause a train don't weep a [C] train don't feel
[F] heartache [C] sadness and [G] pain
And [F] when I die just [C] let my spirit ride
on the boxcar of an [G] ever rollin' [C] train

[Repeat Chorus]

Harmonica End
