F There's an engine at the station and the whistle blows my name C7 A# F It's callin' callin' callin' come and get aboard the train F My baby's gone and I'm alone to live in misery C7 A# F I'm gonna call and make a reservation for me Chorus: C7 F Gonna ride a blue train gonna ride a blue train C7 F Gonna ride a blue train gonna ride a blue train I'm going to climb aboard and ride until I learn to smile I'll be knocking out the blues while I'm knocking out the miles With my guitar, beat and rhythm, to the click-clack of the wheels I'm going to sing the blues because that's the way that I feel Chorus Conductor, go and tell the man to shovel on the coal It doesn't seem half as bad as long as I can roll Give me another ticket and I'll stay and ride with you There's nothing left to live for in this world, we're rolling through Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA# C7 F Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
