  A    E7     A                E7          A
Train train train I've got a thing about trains

A        E7          A
I get a sad kind of feelin'
     A7                  D
When I see a passenger train
                                   A
In this fast movin' world that we live in
B7                           E7
Nobody rides 'em much these days

A            E7          A
Maybe I'm a little sentimental
      A7                           D
Cause I know that things have to change
                                 A
But I'd still like to go for a train ride
                  E7           A
Cause I've got a thing about trains

Chorus:
A       E7    A     D                      A
Train train train you're fading from the scene
     D                        A          E7     A
But you've had your days of glory train train train

Train they say you're too slow for travelin'
But I'm gonna miss you some day
When my little boy says daddy
What was it like to ride a train

I'll just say it was a good way to travel
When things didn't move quite so fast
And I'm sorry son that you can't ride one
The trains are a thing of the past

Chorus:
Train train train you're fading from the scene
And I'm gonna mourn your passing train train train
I've got a thing about trains
