Blue Train - Johnny Cash

Verse 1:
F
There's an engine at the station and the whistle calls my name,
C A# F
It's callin' callin' callin', 'Come and get aboard the train.'
My baby's gone and I'm alone to live in misery,
C A# F
I'm gonna call and make a reservation for me.

Chorus 1:
F C
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train.
F C
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train.

Verse 2:
F
I'm gonna climb aboard and ride until I learn to smile,
C A# F
I'll be knockin' out the blues while I'm knockin' out the miles.
With my guitar, beat and rythm, to the click-clack of the wheels
C A# F
I'm gonna sing the blues 'cause that's the way that I feel.

Chorus 2:
F C
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train.
F C
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train.

Solo 2:

Verse 3:
F
Conductor, go and tell the man to shovel on the coal
C A# F
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.
C A# F
There's nothing left to live for in this world we're rollin' through.

Chorus 3:
F C
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train.
F C
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train.

Solo 3:
