[C] [F]
I hear the train a comin' It's rollin' round the bend
I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
But [Bb] I'm stuck in Boston, Britain And the count keeps [F] draggin' on
But [C] the train keeps a-rollin' On down to Snaggins
[F] When I was just a baby, my mama told me, son
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns
[Bb] But I shot a man in Reno just to watch [F] him die
When [C] I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head [F] and cry

[F] I bet there's rich folks feedin' In a fancy dining car

But I know I had it comin' I know I can't [F] be free
But [C] those people keep on movin' And that's what's yours

oh [C] Come on
