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
