I wish I was a train by Troy Cassar-Daley [C] When I was a little boy I used to lie in my [F] bed [C] and [F] listen for the nine- [C] 0-nine [G] It [F] never ran on Christmas or the day that [C] Jesus died but every other day [G] it ran on time [C] It always made me lonesome but it [F] brought me comfort [C] and [F] what it did to me [C] I can't explain [G] And [F] as I wander through this harsh and [C] gentle world Oh every now and then I wish I [G] was a train [C] [Chorus] [F] Roll on roll on into the [C] dark night [F] Leavin' all my troubles behind [G] [F] Carryin' my soul far, [C] far away [Am7] [C] Oh every now and then, I [G] wish I was a train [C] I loaded trucks in Isa rode the dingo [F] fences [C] cursed the [F] ganger on the [C] western line [G] [F] Started throwin' punches in a bar at [C] Charters Towers They threw the book at me [G] I did my time [C] [Bridge] Cause a [F] train don't weep a [C] train don't feel [F] heartache [C] sadness and pain [G] And [F] when I die just let [C] my spirit ride [Am7] on the [C] boxcar of an ever [G] rollin' train [C] [Repeat Chorus]
