When I was young I spend my summer days playing on the track
E B7 E A E
The sound of the wheels rolling on the steel took me out and brought me back
A E A E
Big train from Memphis, Big train from Memphis
B7 E B7 E
Now it's gone, gone, gone. Gone, gone, gone.
E B7 E A E B7
Like no one before he let out a roar and I just had to tag along
E B7 E A E
Each night I went to bed with the sound in my head and the dream was a song
A E A E
Big train from Memphis, Big train from Memphis
B7 E B7 E
Now it's gone, gone, gone. Gone, gone, gone.
E B7 E A E B7
Well I rode 'em in and back out again. You know what they say about trains
E B7 E A
But I'm telling you when the Memphis train came through
E
this old world was not the same
A E A E
Big train from Memphis, Big train from Memphis
B7 E B7 E
Now it's gone, gone, gone. Gone, gone, gone.
