[Verse 1]
  E
There's an engine at the station and the whistle blows my name

     B7                               A              E
It's callin' callin' callin' come and get aboard the train

   E
My baby's gone and I'm alone to live in misery

    B7                         A          E
I'm gonna call and make a reservation for me
[Chorus]
             B7                      E
Gonna ride a blue train gonna ride a blue train

             B7                      E
Gonna ride a blue train gonna ride a blue train

I'm gonna climb aboard and ride until I learn to smile

        B7                               A                E
I'll be knockin' out the blues while I'm knockin' out the miles

With my guitar beatin' rhythm to the click-clack of the wheels

    B7                                    A          E
I'm gonna sing the blues cause that's the way that I feel

Conductor go and tell the man to shovel on the coal

   B7                             A             E
It doesn't seem as half as bad as long as I can roll

E 
Give me another ticket and I'll stay and ride with you

        B7                              A                   E
There's nothin' left to live for in the world we're rollin' through
[Chorus]
             B7                      E
Gonna ride a blue train gonna ride a blue train

             B7                      E
Gonna ride a blue train gonna ride a blue train
