Chords:
[Verse] F Well, I met him in Chicago outside the Union Station C He was picking up the empties in the rain F He said, "May I introduce myself and can you spare a dollar? F They call me the Lord of the Trains C F Yeah, they call me the Lord of the Trains" [Verse] F He said, "Friend, you see before you an historic apparition C I'm the last surviving hobo in the game F And although they may have done away with all that I held sacred F I am still the Lord of the Trains C F Yeah, there will always be a Lord of the Trains" [Chorus] Bb F "But there ain't no more cabooses on them rattlers anymore Bb F No hobo jungles up in Coeur d'Alene Bb Am D Ain't no Midnight Ghost that haunts the Eastern corridor Eb Bb C But I'm still the Lord of the Trains Bb C F Yeah, there will always be a Lord of the Trains" [Verse] F He said, "I even miss the bad wine, the bad times and the bulls C Them yard detectives, they all knew my name F And on every bunk in every cell in every jail in Dixie F I carved the crossed initials of my name C F That's the mark of the Lord of the Trains" [Verse] F "But now all the 'bos and railroad bums are gone with the cabooses C Tell me, mister isn't it a shame? F 'Cause for every little boy was hypnotized by counting boxcars F I was that hobo waving from the train C F I waved a blessing, from the Lord of the Trains" [Chorus] Bb F "But there ain't no more cabooses on them rattlers anymore Bb F No hobo jungles up in Coeur d'Alene Bb Am D Ain't no Midnight Ghost that haunts the Eastern corridor Eb Bb C But I'm still the Lord of the Trains Bb C F Yeah, there will always be a Lord of the Trains" [Verse] F So I handed him a dollar and I thanked him for his story C And I watched him disappearing in the rain F He was heading towards the land of hobo jungles and cabooses F Where he was still the Lord of the Trains C F Where he'll always be a Lord of the Trains [Chorus] Bb F "But there ain't no more cabooses on them rattlers anymore Bb F No hobo jungles up in Coeur d'Alene Bb Am D Ain't no Midnight Ghost that haunts the Eastern corridor Eb Bb C But I'm still the Lord of the Trains Bb C F Yeah, there will always be a Lord of the Trains" [Outro] F Heh, I was that little boy, was hypnotized by counting boxcars F I finally met the Lord of the Trains C F Yeah, I finally met the Lord of the Trains X
