A
Think I'll go down to the depot, though the train don't run no more
D A
Take a ticket and start walkin', down to the old gulf shore
A D
Well I'm a-lookin' for a train, that runs silent with the wind
A E A
Haulin' sad souls, bound for nowhere, Ghost Train Four-Oh-Ten
A
Big money took my cotton, left me busted, down to scratch
D A
Well my woman couldn't take the hard times, she ain't never comin' back
A D
Ain't no use in me stayin', send word to my next of kin
A E A
Well I'm leavin', yes I'm leavin', on Ghost Train Four-Oh-Ten
D A
Well I've seen it in my dreams, I've heard it in my mind
A E
Somewhere between eight-oh-six, just past the twelve-oh-nine
A D
A tortured soul is all it takes, to ride it till the end
A E A
Black steel, bound for nowhere, Ghost Train Four-Oh-Ten
Solo: A D A D A E A
A
Gamblers, thugs and thieves, and the likes of me
D A
No questions asked or answered, how it is is how it be
A D
No particular destination, headed back where it's just been
A E A
Haulin' tear-stained weary travelers, Ghost Train Four-Oh-Ten
E A
Well, Ghost Train Four-Oh-Ten
