[Intro] | Em | Em | Em | Em | x2 [Verse 1]
  Em                                  C
I just came down from Chippewa, had a station wagon and a hundred dollars

D                                  Em
Thinkin' about the girl I'd lost a year before

         Em                              C
I hadn't seen her for some time, thought I might go on by

          D                               Em
When your memory came floodin' in and you closed that door
[Chorus]
            Em                                C
Wish I was a freight train baby, wish I was a diesel locomotive

         D                         Em
I'd come whistlin' down your track crashin' in your door

            Em                                C
Wish I was a freight train baby, wish I didn't have a heart

           D                   Em
You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started

            Em                               C
Wish I was a freight train baby, wish I was a freight train baby

            D               Em
Wish I was a freight train
[Verse 2]
      Em                         C
Well, every time I talk to you I hear your jealous lies

  D                                     Em
I feel like I've been left abandoned on some old railway side

    Em                              C
And every time I hear your voice my water just gets cold

   D                            Em
My stoker will not stoke and my boiler will not boil.
[Chorus]
            Em                                C
Wish I was a freight train baby, wish I was a diesel locomotive

         D                         Em
I'd come whistlin' down your track crashin' in your door

            Em                                C
Wish I was a freight train baby, wish I didn't have a heart

           D                   Em
You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started

            Em                               C
Wish I was a freight train baby, wish I was a freight train baby

            D               Em
Wish I was a freight train
[Instrumental] | Em | Em | C | C | D | D | Em | Em | | Em | Em | C | C | D | D | Em | Em | Em | Em [Verse 3]
      Em                         C
Well, every time I fell behind I could not get ahead

  D                                     Em
I wish someone would pull the lever and give me a little sand

    Em                       C
And every time I slip behind even further back

  D                                          Em
I wish some switch man would come out of the fog and change my track
[Chorus]
            Em                                C
Wish I was a freight train baby, wish I was a diesel locomotive

         D                         Em
I'd come whistlin' down your track crashin' in your door

            Em                                C
Wish I was a freight train baby, wish I didn't have a heart

           D                   Em
You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started

            Em                               C
Wish I was a freight train baby, wish I was a freight train baby

            D               Em
Wish I was a freight train
[Instrumental] | Em | Em | C | C | D | D | Em | Em | x4 [Chorus]
            Em                                C
Wish I was a freight train baby, wish I was a diesel locomotive

         D                         Em
I'd come whistlin' down your track crashin' in your door

            Em                                C
Wish I was a freight train baby, wish I didn't have a heart

           D                   Em
You need a shovel for the coal just to get me started

            Em                               C
Wish I was a freight train baby, wish I was a freight train baby

            D               Em
Wish I was a freight train
