[Verse 1]
      D           G               A               D     D/C# Bm
When Jenny was a little girl she only dreamed of trains
                       G        A
She never played with dolls or lacy kinds of things
 D             G          A                D    D/C# Bm
Jenny counted boxcars instead of counting sheep
              G        A                D
She could go anywhere when she went to sleep

[Verse 2]
     D        G                A             D   D/C# Bm
All she ever talked about was gettin' on to ride
                   G            A
She was livin' in another time you could see it in her eyes
 D        G                  A                D    D/C# Bm
Everyday after school she'd head down to the tracks
                 G              A            D
Waitin' for the train that was never comin' back

[Chorus]
       G      A   D
Jenny dreamed of trains
          G   A     D
When the nighttime came
 G      A            Bm           E  G
Nobody knew how she made it come true
       A          D
Jenny dreamed of trains

[Verse 3]
     D            G               A                    D   D/C# Bm
The depot's been boarded up, the rails have turned to rust
                     G                 A
There hasn't been a train through her since the mill went bust
D         G                   A                  D    D/C# Bm
No one believed her when she said she heard the train
                     G           A            D
Said she was just a little girl actin' kinda strange

[Chorus]
       G      A   D
Jenny dreamed of trains
          G   A     D
When the nighttime came
 G      A            Bm           E  G
Nobody knew how she made it come true
       A          D
Jenny dreamed of trains

[Verse 4]
 D            G    A                  D  D/C# Bm
Jenny laid a penny on the tracks one day
           G     A
in God we trust she walked away
 D             G       A                  D   D/C#
The very next mornin' all that she could find
       Bm              G               A              D
was a little piece of copper squashed flatter than a dime

[Chorus]
       G      A   D
Jenny dreamed of trains
          G   A     D
When the nighttime came
 G      A            Bm           E  G
Nobody knew how she made it come true
       A          D
Jenny dreamed of trains

[Tag]
  G     A            Bm           E
Nobody knew how she made it come true
 G     A          D
Jenny dreamed of trains
