Verse 1

G               F                 C    D
Old train I can hear your whistle blow
C              D           G
But I won’t be jumping on again
G                   F              C  D
Old train I’ve been everywhere you go
C               D                G
And I know what lies beyond each bend.

Chorus

C                       D                 C        D    G
Old train each time you pass you’re older than the last
D                    A               D
And it seems I’m too old for running
C                 D             C          D     G
I hear your rusty wheels grate against the rails
D                   C                           G
They cry with every mile and I think I’ll stay awhile.

Verse 2

G                F            C     D
Old train I grow weary at the miles
C              D                G
And I miss the freedom that was mine
G                 F                 C     D
Old train just to think about those times
C                   D                   G
And I’ll smile when you’re high-balling by.
