Chords:
[Verse]D G DWhen I was a boy in the days of the trainBm AI'd sit by the tracks on a long summer dayGAnd I'd wave at the brakesmanDAnd he'd wave back at meBmWhile the thunderclouds rolledA DOut of East Tennessee[Verse]D G DBut the dreams of a boy disappear when you're grownBm AAnd though I may dream, the railroads are goneGThe ties they are rottenDAnd the tracks shot to hellBm A DAlong with my dreams and the old railroad bell[Chrous]D G A DIn my dreams I ride the rails to CaliforniaG A DWorkin' diners and farms along the wayG A DOr I'd hop a ride to hide across the borderG A DWith a black eyed girl beside me all the wayD GNow the mountains are silentDAnd the railroads are goneBm AAnd the coal towns no longer hear the miners at dawnG DBut the train whistle shrills out her memories to meBm A DWhile the thunderclouds roll out of East Tennessee[Chrous]D G A DIn my dreams I ride the rails to CaliforniaG A DWorkin' diners and farms along the wayG A DOr I'd hop a ride to hide across the borderG A DWith a black eyed girl beside me all the wayD GNow the mountains are silentDAnd the railroads are goneBm AAnd the coal towns no longer hear the miners at dawnG DBut the train whistle shrills out her memories to meBm A DWhile the thunderclouds roll out of East TennesseeOrignally by macrhino on e-chords.com
