Chorus:
C                   F
Stop that train Im leaving (today)

Stop that train Im leaving (and I said it)

C                            G
All my good life Ive been a lonely man
F                             C
Teaching the people who dont understand
C                 G
And even though I tried my best
  F                   C

Wont be too long whether Im right or wrong

C                   G
Some going east and some gone west
F                   C
Some stand aside to try their best
C                       G
Some living big but the most is living small
     F                       C
They just cant even find no fool at all
(I mean stop it)

Chorus:
