Fleetwood Mac 1971 [Intro] E E E E E E7 [Verse 1]
       E7
I went down to the station--

A7                      E    E    E   E7
 I leaned up-against the door.

             A7
Yeah, I went down to the station

A7                      E    E   E   E7
I leaned up against the door.

       B7
I said good-bye to my sweet, ride on--

A7                               E     E    E
 I said now, she couldn't use me no more.
[Chorus]
        E7    A7
Yeah's a mean old fireman

A7                 E    E    E
 And a cruel old engineer--

       E7    A7
He is a mean old fireman

A7                E    E    E
And a cruel old engineer-

     E7     B7
Yes, takin' way my sweet woman--

A7                    E   E  E  E7
 And left me standing here.

[Verse 3]
           A7
 I used to roll my baby,

A7                      E          E   E   E   E7
 Till she was forced to jump and shout

          A7
I used to roll my sweet baby,

A7                     E           E  E  E7
Till she was forced to jump and shout

        B7
And now that train pulls in boys

A7                    E   E   E
 And I'll come walkin out-
[Chorus]
        E7         A7
I heard the fireman blow the whistle

               E          E   E
And the engineer-ring the bell

  E7                A7
I heard the fireman blow the whistle

    A7            E     E  E  E
And engineer ring the bell

  E7
I knew it was time boys

    A               E   E   E7   E  E
To; bid my baby farewell    Hum... fade
