I learned to play this song a few years ago now, and looking at the other versions on the web
to compare they are close but no cigar!
This song is very fun to play and sounds excellent on an acoustic! It sounds much better to
play the riff but I've written out the chords and timings anyway!
(Please rate if you can!)

...Bridge...
D A Now let the Freedom Train come zooming down the track D A Gleaming in the sunlight for white and black D Not stopping at no stations marked colored nor white A Just stopping in the fields in the broad daylight D Stopping in the country in the wide open air A Where there never was a Jim Crow sign nowhere D A And no lilly-white committees, politicians of note D Dsus4 Dsus2 Nor poll tax layer through which colored can't vote A Asus4 Asus2 And there won't be no kinda color lines A Asus4 Asus2 The Freedom Train will be yours and mine
...Chorus...
G A D Em A voice so pure - a vision so clear F#m G I've gotta learn to live like you A Learn to sing like you
...Coda...
