G
There's an old black train
G
Scraping long the iron
C
You don't need no ticket boys
D G
It'll take you when it's time
G
Come on now young strangers
G
Weren't you someone's son
C
How'd you find this depot
D G
Cause it ain't where you belong
G
You will pass a graveyard
G
Stones worn by the years
C
The train'll stop a minute
D G
But don't let it leave you here
G
The coachman is my brother
G
The engineer's my friend
C
They'll get you more acquainted
D G
By the time you reach the end
G
This journey is a long one
G
It'll take you all around
C
Life rushing by your window
D G
Before it lays you down
G
Now where this old train's going
G
You can't come back from
C
You can leave your baggage here
D G
Because we'll need it when you're gone
