[Intro]
Em Em Em Em
 
[Verse]
Em D
I can feel the wheels turnin' underneath my feet.
A
As I pull the shade down on my window seat.
C D Em
Praying where I'm going is better than where I've been.
Em D
Then a stranger sits down as if he's right at home.
A
Touches me and says, "I see you're travelin' alone.
C D Em
And by the way, son, you forgot to say amen."
 
[Bridge]
C
He says, "I guess there's something here I need to explain.
Em
I try to talk to everyone riding this train.
Am B7
Some of them listen, but most don't pay me no mind."
 
[Chorus]
C Em
And the train keeps rollin' and the world keeps turnin'.
Am B7 Em
All aboard, all aboard, everybody's gotta get on board.

[Verse]
Em D
"Take that woman with the frown sittin' 'cross the aisle.
A
With her briefcase open nigh on ninety miles.
C D Em
She never even noticed that lake back at Horseshoe Bend.
Em D
And that couple with the kids at the front of the car.
A
Fussing all the way about some cookie jar.
C D Em
I'm gonna ask them what they saw at their journey's end."
 
[Bridge]
C
"And there's a fellow I left sitting in the back.
Em
Keeps a smile on his face through a paper sack.
Am B7
Looking out the window but he can't see past the pain."
 
[Chorus]
C Em
And the train keeps rollin' and the world keeps turnin'.
Am B7 Em
All aboard, all aboard, everybody's gotta get on board.

Then the train slows down unexpectedly.
A
I raised my blind; he slaps my knee.
C D Em
Saying, "this is my stop, son, but you won't be travelin' alone.
Em D
I look out my window to wave him goodbye.
A
But there's nobody there, just a light in the sky.
C D Em
I lose my breath and my blood runs cold as stone.
 
[Bridge]
C
Then I feel the wheels they're turnin' underneath my feet.
Em
But life looks different from my window seat.
Am B7
Knowing where I'm going is better than where I've been.
 
[Chorus]
C Em
And the train keeps rollin' and the world keeps turnin'.
Am B7 Em
All aboard, all aboard, everybody's gotta get on board.

Em
I can feel the wheels, they're turnin' underneath my feet...
