Chorus (acapella)
Train of dreams don’t you know
I haven’t seen the Rockies or the wild West Coast
I hear a song on the rails of iron and steam
I will ride forever on that train of dreams
[Verse]
D Bm
Down by the tracks in that small prairie town
G D A
Ragged young boys raisin dust like a cloud
D Bm
We would wait for the trains in the hot summer sun
G D A D
If we listened to the rails we could hear them hum
[Verse]
D Bm
She would still be a speck when her whistle would blow
G A
She snaked across the prairie in her glory and smoke
D Bm
And came to a stop with a groan and a scream
G D A D
We’d stare in wide eyed wonder at that train of dreams
[Chorus]
D Bm
Train of dreams don’t you know
G D A
I haven’t seen the Rockies or the wild West Coast
D Bm
I hear a song on the rails of iron and steam
G D A D
I will ride forever on that train of dreams
[Verse]
D Bm
We’d just hang around that platform all day
G D A
Watching all the people journey on their way
D G
They had places to go we had never been
D A D
Some mysterious adventure on that train of dreams
[Bridge]
Bm
When that long whistle moans
G
Like a siren’s call
Em A F
I haven’t seen Superior or old Montreal
D Bm
But this town on the plains is the only thing I’ve seen
G D A D
I wish I had a ticket on that train of dreams
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
D Bm
Train of dreams don’t you know
G D A
I haven’t seen the Rockies or the wild West Coast
D Bm
I hear a song on the rails of iron and steam
G D A D
I will ride forever on that train of dreams
[Chorus]
N.C.
Train of dreams don’t you know
I haven’t seen the Rockies or the wild West Coast
D Bm
I hear a song on the rails of iron and steam
G D A D
I will ride forever on that train of dreams (repeat last line)
