Verse 1
The thought
G 
that inspired me to write this next  (G major) song
C 
in some  (C major) ways may seem premature,
the title being simply,
No More Trains to Ride.

go to enough trouble,
you can still hop a freight
and make your way across the country.
F

G

 (F major) from choosing  (C major) this method of travel,
let's say, you know, like
over -hitchhiking.
And if you'll examine close to
the times in which we live,
G 
I think maybe you'll agree this  (G major) song
C 
may  (C major) not be quite so premature after all.
F 
I was raised in a  (F major) Santa Fe river
C
