Gonna take a sentimental journey,
Em G# G7
Gonna set my heart at ease;

Gonna take a sentimental journey

To renew old mem - o - ries.
C
Got my bag, I got my reservation;
Em G# G7
Spent each dime I could af - ford.

Like a child in wild an-ti-ci-pa-tion,
C Fdim C G7 C
Long to hear that "All a - board!"

Sev-en...that's the time we'd leave,

At sev-en. I'll be waitin' up for Hea - ven,

Countin' ev'ry mile of railroad track that takes me back.

Never thought my heart could be so yearny;
Em G# G7
Why did I decide to roam?

Gotta take a sentimental journey,
C Dm7 C - Cdim Fdim C
Sentimental jour- ney home.
