[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C
Chugging on down from the Hamburg station
F C
To the edge of old Reading town
C
Rolling southbound next to the Schuylkill River
D7 G7
Make a terminal and turn around
[Chorus]
F C
We'll not soon be forgetting
E Am G7
A ride on the Blue Mountain-Reading
F C
Yeah, everything is feeling so fine
G7 C
On the Blue Mountain-Reading line
[Verse 2]
C
Riding on a train like my grandaddy did
F C
Makes me feel like a kid again
C
With my engineer's cap and a red bandana
D7 G7
I'm as happy as I don't know when
[Chorus]
F C
No, I'm not soon be forgetting
E Am G7
A ride on the Blue Mountain-Reading
F C
Yeah, everything is feeling so fine
G7 C
On the Blue Mountain-Reading line
[Verse 3]
C
The steady clack-a-clack is a-hypnotizing
F C
And the smoke's about to make me hack
C
But there isn't any way, once you got me going
D7 G7
That you'd ever, ever get me back
[Chorus]
F C
No, I'm not soon be forgetting
E Am G7
A ride on the Blue Mountain-Reading
F C
Yeah, everything is feeling so fine
G7 C
On the Blue Mountain-Reading line
[Guitar Solo]
C
F C
C
D7 G7
F C
E Am G7
F C
G7 C
[Verse 4]
C
The mountains are blue and the valley is green
F C
And the city's a confusing place
C
But here on the train, all I do is sit back
D7 G7
And relax at the railroad's pace
[Chorus]
F C
No, I'm not soon be forgetting
E Am G7
A ride on the Blue Mountain-Reading
F C
Yeah, everything is feeling so fine
G7 C
On the Blue Mountain-Reading line
F C
I said everything is feeling so fine
G7 C
On the Blue Mountain-Reading line
