Freight Train chords
Elizabeth Cotton
Open or capo to suit

C                             G7
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast,
G                             C
freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
E7                     F
Please don't tell what train I'm on,
        C          G7        C
so they won't know where I'm gone.

C                             G7
Freight train, freight train, goin' round the bend,
G                             C
freight train, freight train, comin' back again
E7                          F
One of these days turn that train around,
       C       G7      C
and go back to my home town.

C              G7
One more place I'd like to be,
G              C
one more place I'd like to see
   E7                        F
To watch them old Blue Ridge Mountains climb,
       C        G7     C
when I ride old Number Nine.

C                G7
When I die Lord, bury me deep,
G                  C
down at the end of Chestnut Street
E7                   F
Where I can hear old Number Nine,
   C         G7       C
as she comes down the line.

C                             G7
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast,
G                             C
freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
E7                     F
Please don't tell what train I'm on,
        C          G7        C
so they won't know where I'm gone.
