[Chorus]
A train says…
A D
Oooh, ooh w’hoo
A D
Oooh, ooh w’hoo
A D
Wooh ooh hooo
A D
Wooh ooh hooo
[Verse 1]
A
I’m sitting at the station
D
Waiting here for you
A
Thinking about my station
D
Am I good enough for you
A
I hear the beat now
D
Of the chug-a-lug-a fleet
A
Black smoke is billowing
D
The miners earn their keep
[Chorus]
A train says…
A D
Oooh, ooh w’hoo
A D
Oooh, ooh w’hoo
A D
Wooh ooh hooo
A D
Wooh ooh hooo
[Verse 2]
A
Los viejos estan
D
Hablando across the street
A
The things that they’re saying
D
Wonder what they mean
A
I see her stepping off
D
The South Shore Line
A
A smile on her face, but
D
What’s going through her mind
[Chorus]
A train says…
A D
Oooh, ooh w’hoo
A D
Oooh, ooh w’hoo
A D
Wooh ooh hooo
A D
Wooh ooh hooo
[Verse 3]
A
As the locomotive shuffles
D
I stumble to my feet
A
Grab her bags, grab her hand
D
And walk her to her seat
A
We drive all night
D
The drunks are in their bars
A
A red light before us
D
A kiss under the stars
[Chorus]
A train says…
A D
Oooh, ooh w’hoo
A D
Oooh, ooh w’hoo
A D
Wooh ooh hooo
A D
Wooh ooh hooo
[Verse 4]
A
Fishing caught fission
D
An explosive hit of matter
A
Casualties on all sides
D
We left them to scatter
A
Tanks, planes, and foxholes
D
Bombs, boats, shot holes
A
Call the governor, call the guard
D
They can’t break our stronghold
[Chorus]
A train says…
A D
Oooh, ooh w’hoo
A D
Oooh, ooh w’hoo
A D
Wooh ooh hooo
A D
Wooh ooh hooo
[Verse 5]
A
I boarded my car
D
She saw me through the glass
A
Grabbed my bags, grabbed her hand
D
And her apple ass
A
A push over the mountains
D
Through the lush green valley
A
Drinks, friends, and family
D
A five-day malady
[Chorus]
A train says…
A D
Oooh, ooh w’hoo
A D
Oooh, ooh w’hoo
A D
Wooh ooh hooo
A D
Wooh ooh hooo
[Verse 6]
A
She’s coming back around
D
With boots on her feet
A
Up and down the railways
D
“Beetles” on the beat
A
Our intention is clear
D
And everyone can see
A
You’re welcome to visit us
D
On Sussex Street
[Chorus]
A train says…
A D
Oooh, ooh w’hoo
A D
Oooh, ooh w’hoo
A D
Wooh ooh hooo
A D
Wooh ooh hooo
[Outro]
A A A A — D D D D
