[Intro] D,D9 [verse 1] Bm When I was a boy G D In the days of the train Bm I'd sit by the tracks A On a long summer day G And I'd wave to the brakeman D And he'd wave back at me Bm A While the thunderclouds rolled D Out of east Tennessee [verse 2] Bm But the dreams of a boy G D Disappear when you're grown Bm And though I may dream A The railroads are gone G The ties they are rotten D And the tracks shot to hell Bm A Along with my dreams D G D And the old railroad bell [chorus] G A D In my dreams I ride the rails to California G A D Working dinners and farms along the way G A D Or I'd hop a ride to hide across the border G A D With a black eyed girl beside all the way [verse 3] Bm Now the mountains are silent G D And the railroads are gone Bm And the coal towns no longer A Hear the miners at dawn G But the train whistle shrills D Out her memories to me Bm A While the thunderclouds rolled D Out of east Tennessee [chorus] [verse 3]
