Verse 1:
F                        F
I pulled into Memphis, thirteen minutes early

      F
First time in two weeks.
That’s where she came to meet me
     F                         F
As I stepped down off 451, and needed sleep.

        G                     F                   F
And the baby’s overdo I know, she needs some thi..ngs,

        F                            G
But the more we discuss it, it’s the same..
Chorus:
F                       F
Long train rollin’, got a feelin’ that I’m not knowin’

                      F
She’s not waitin’ for me.
These rails keep getting’ longer
         F                                    F
And this feelin’s getting’ stronger she won’t let me be,

  G
I love my woman fire and rain,

       F                F
But, I won’t give up my train
Guitar solo: Verse 2:
F                        F
The Baby came in April and I was in Chicago

               F
In the pourin’ rain.

                                        F
With twelve flat cars, an empty tanker, three box cars

                     F
and an empty sack of mail.

F                     F                             
Tho’ I get lonely sometimes I know

             F                 G
There’s just no other way to explain…
Chorus: Guitar Solo: to end of song
