[Verse 1]
G Well, I ride on a mail-train C G I can't buy no thrill G I've been up all night C G Just leanin' on the windowsill F Well, if I die C D On top of the hill G And if I don't make it G You know my baby will
[Verse 2]
G Well, don't the moon look good, mama C G Shinin' through the trees? G And don't the brakeman look good, mama C G Flagging down the "Double E"? F And don't the sun look good C D Settin' down over the sea? G And don't my little gal look fine C G When she's comin' after me? G Now, come on

G Now, wintertime is coming C G The windows are covered in frost G I went to tell everybody C G But I could not get across F Well, I wanna be your lover, babe C D I don't wanna be your boss G Don't say I never warned you C G When your train gets lost, yeah
