Verse 1
I (D major) remem (G major) (D major) (A major) ber (D major)
well those depression days
They (G major) laid me down by the railroad track (D major) s
I used to play Jimmy Rogers' records
And watch the big trains go up and (A major) back
I can still (D major) hear the lonesome whistles
as I gaze into my glass (G major)
One more drink and it's empty, (D major)
and then I'll (A major) ride back in the pack (D major)
I see myself out the station window,
I get a (G major) ticket to St. Louis town (D major)
It's back in the 1930s,
this country boy is city bound (A major)
I can (D major) hear those wheels a -spinnin'
And now they're startin' (G minor) to roll (G major)
A -crossin' in an open (D major) railroad
I'm a (A major) -ridin' a -beginnin' to (D major) roll
Can't you (G major) hear that engine puffin'?
Can't you (D major) see those shiny rails?
Don't you feel that old coach a -swayin'
Like a ship without a sail? (A major)
If I (D major) live to be a hundred,
leave nothing around
still here safe (G major)
Tickets, please, as we (D major) get on board
that train (A major) of yesterday (D major)

Verse 2
Well we (D major) just passed Bridgeport and Oney
The floor (G major) is just around the bend (D major)
Soon we'll be in Salem
That's where I've got a lot of friends
(A major)
Verse 3
The (D major) people wave as we go by
Trailing black smoke all the way (G major)
I wish I could ride forever (D major)
On this train (A major) of yesterday (D major)
Then (A major) the (B minor) bartender shakes my shoulder
He says, (F sharp minor) buddy, it's time to go
It's (G major) one a .m. in the (D major) morning
I think your (E major) last train whistles be (A major) low
I stumble (B minor) out in the darkness
And shuffle (F sharp minor) along my way (G major)
Today I'm gonna ride to glory (D major)
on that train (A major) of yesterday (D major)
Can't you (G major) hear that engine puffin'
Can't you (D major) see those shiny rails
Don't you feel that old coach swayin'
Like a ship without a sail (A major)
If I (D major) live to be a hundred
The conductor I'm still here (G major) safe
Tickets, please, as we (D major) get on board
that train (A major) of yester (D major) day
Outro 1
(D major) (G major) (D major) (A major) (D major)
