I'VE GOT A THING ABOUT TRAINS
As recorded by Bobby Bare
(From the 1967 Album A BIRD NAMED YESTERDAY)
 
[Intro]
C
 
[Verse 1]
C G C F C
I get a sad kind of feeling when I see a passenger train
F C D7 G7
In this fast movin' world we live in nobody rides them much these days
C G C F
Oh maybe I'm just sentimental cause I know that things have to change
C G C
But I still like to go for a train ride cause I've got a thing about trains
 
[Chorus]
C G C F C
Train train train you're out of place these days
F C G C
But you've had your days of glory train train train
 
[Guitar Solo]
C
 
[Verse 2]
C G C F C
Train they say you're too slow for travelin' but I'm gonna miss you some day
F C D7 G
When my little boy says daddy what was it like to ride a train
C G C F
I'll say it was a good way to travel when things didn't move quite so fast
C G C
And I'm sorry that you can't ride one but trains are a thing of the past
 
[Chorus]
C G C F C
Train train train you're fading from the scene
F C G C
But I'm gonna mourn your passing train train train
 
[Guitar Solo]
C
 
[Verse 3]
C G C F C
So if you're tired of people and buildings weary of worry and strain
F C D G
Then you ought to go on a train ride and look out the window at things
C G C F
Go for a ride down to Memphis the night train is still right on time
C G C
But I read in the papers this mornin' next week they're gonna take it off the line
 
[Chorus]
C G C F C
Train train train blow your whistle proudly and loud
F C G C
As you roll to your place in hist'ry train train train
 
[Outro]
G C
I've got a thing about trains
