Verse 2
I am just an Indian (G major) and (D major) once
this was my land (G major)
Now it's been taking from me by
the coming (D major) of a white (G major) man
And the anger makes my blood (C major) run
hot and heavy (G major) in my veins (E minor)
Everytime (G major) I think about the
com (F major) ing of the train (G major) s.
Verse 3
The day (G major) was hot and dusty
in the year (D major) of (G major) '69
As we heard the whistle blowing
somewhere (D major) down the line (G major)
That was the year (C major) I rode with
Frank (G major) and Jesse James (E minor)
As we waited (G major) for the coming and
the go (F major) ing of the train (G major) s.
Verse 4
The drought (G major) hit west Texas the
ground (D major) was cracked and dry (G major)
We just had to have some water or
our crops (D major) would surely die (G major)
The railroad shipped this water (C major) till
we fi (G major) nally got some rain (E minor)
And I (G major) thanked God for the coming
and the go (F major) ing of the train (G major) s.
(A flat major)
Verse 5
I lived behind these iron bars I'm
a prisoner (E flat major) doing time (A flat major)
And I've heard that midnight freight
pass at least (E flat major) the thousand times (A flat major)
And I spent my time a walk (D flat major) ing to
the door (A flat major) and back again (F minor)
And marking (A flat major) down the coming and
the go (G flat major) ing of the train (A flat major) s.
Verse 6
I've (A flat major) always been an engineer
(E flat major) and trains're all I know (A flat major)
Ah they don't want me anymore and
they say (E flat major) that I'm too old (A flat major)
But my cabin at the cross (D flat major) ing sorta
helps (A flat major) to ease my pain (F minor)
For I just (A flat major) had to feel the coming and
the go (G flat major) ing of the trains.
(A flat major)
Verse 7
The trucks and planes're faster now
and the railroad (E flat major) is too slow (A flat major)
And they just came and told me
that my railroad (E flat major) has to go (A flat major)
The hands that built the railroad (D flat major) through
sweat (A flat major) and blood and pain (F minor)
Will sign (A flat major) the final papers of
the go (G flat major) ing of the train (A flat major) s.
Verse 8
And I (A flat major) have seen the coming and
the going (G flat major) of the trains...
