                        ~ ~ Am
I heard a train calling
Through the middle of the night
            Dm
I heard the whistle

        C            F       G  
And the mercy of the wheels

       C
It's a hand to mouth existence

~  ~ Am
In a mouth to nothing world

      Dm
I was longing

        C              F     G   F
For the way I used to feel

            ~     ~ G
I'd like to catch a train

           C  ~    ~  F
That could go back in time

           Dm            C
That could make a lot of stops

          F    G
Along the way

        F     ~   ~  G
I would go to see my father

         C       ~    ~ F
With the eyes he left behind

        Dm             C
I would go for all the words

            F    G
I'd like to say

        F     ~    ~ G
And I'd take along a sandwich

      C       ~  ~   F
And a picture of my girl

    Dm                 
And show them all

     F           C    G  C
That I made out okay

                         ~ ~ Am
I heard a train calling
Through the middle of the night
      Dm
And I wondered 

     F                   C   G  
If I should have gotten on

  C                             ~ ~ Am
A train knows where it's going
And when it's time to go
    Dm
And that it looks best

     F            C     G   C
When it's already gone

                         ~ ~ Am
I heard a train calling
Through the middle of a dream
      Dm                   F
And I wandered through the weeds

           C   G
As it went by

        C                            ~ ~ Am
Oh, the trains they have the numbers
The nicknames and the nights
     Dm
They know it's okay

   F            C     G   F
To run away and cry

            ~     ~ G
I'd like to catch a train

           C  ~    ~  F
That could go back in time

           Dm            C
That could make a lot of stops

          F    G
Along the way

        F     ~   ~  G
I would go to see my father

         C       ~    ~ F
With the eyes he left behind

        Dm             C
I would go for all the words

            F    G
I'd like to say

        F     ~    ~ G
And I'd take along a sandwich

      C       ~  ~   F
And a picture of my girl

    Dm                 
And show them all

     F           C    G  C
That I made out okay

                         ~ ~ Am
I heard a train calling
Through the middle of the night
            Dm
I heard the whistle

        F            C       G  C
And the mercy of the wheels
