INTRO: C Am Dm C F G C
~ ~ Am
I heard a train calling
Through the middle of the night
Dm
I heard the whistle
C F G
And the mercy of the wheels
C
It's a hand to mouth existence
~ ~ Am
In a mouth to nothing world
Dm
I was longing
C F G F
For the way I used to feel
~ ~ G
I'd like to catch a train
C ~ ~ F
That could go back in time
Dm C
That could make a lot of stops
F G
Along the way
F ~ ~ G
I would go to see my father
C ~ ~ F
With the eyes he left behind
Dm C
I would go for all the words
F G
I'd like to say
F ~ ~ G
And I'd take along a sandwich
C ~ ~ F
And a picture of my girl
Dm
And show them all
F C G C
That I made out okay
~ ~ Am
I heard a train calling
Through the middle of the night
Dm
And I wondered
F C G
If I should have gotten on
C ~ ~ Am
A train knows where it's going
And when it's time to go
Dm
And that it looks best
F C G C
When it's already gone
~ ~ Am
I heard a train calling
Through the middle of a dream
Dm F
And I wandered through the weeds
C G
As it went by
C ~ ~ Am
Oh, the trains they have the numbers
The nicknames and the nights
Dm
They know it's okay
F C G F
To run away and cry
~ ~ G
I'd like to catch a train
C ~ ~ F
That could go back in time
Dm C
That could make a lot of stops
F G
Along the way
F ~ ~ G
I would go to see my father
C ~ ~ F
With the eyes he left behind
Dm C
I would go for all the words
F G
I'd like to say
F ~ ~ G
And I'd take along a sandwich
C ~ ~ F
And a picture of my girl
Dm
And show them all
F C G C
That I made out okay
~ ~ Am
I heard a train calling
Through the middle of the night
Dm
I heard the whistle
F C G C
And the mercy of the wheels
