[Intro]
Am[VerBmse 1A]Bm  
BmWell, I was standing on the train tracks on a midnight blue
ETrying to remember where I left my shoes
F#And in a natural way
My thoughts returned to Bmyou
BmSo I walked into a honky-tonk jukebox saloon
ETo reflect on my losses and rock to some tunes
F#I thought it all through
Then I figured out what to Bmdo
[Chorus]
BmI’d start working for the train, train, feedly-dang
EFeedle-otten Deeten-do Dangy-do
Feedle-otten Deeten-do Ding-Train-F#True
I started working for the train when I was looking for Bmyou
[Verse 2]
BmSprung from the ward steel brainpan, pity-pity
ELooked you up in Freehold for a face that I could trust
F#The foreman said you’d left out
BmHe pointed at the office it was already late!
BmI smoothed down my hair
EHe was weary, short-tempered
F#He said I had just seconds to make my case
BmI put one hand on his shoulder
[Bridge]
BmAnd I said: “Feelings, feelings, are somewhat symptomatic of
ASocietal abrasions that conform electric static”
EHe said, “Son I don’t think you have that much of a brain”
BmI said, “You’ve got to have a brain when you’re working for the train”

BmIt’s a long run to Trenton
ESome folks are tired and hungry
F#But when that engine starts pumping
BmI don’t care where the train is going
BmI spent a long year
EPestering my savior just to let me see your smile
F#The salesman was drunk
BmI put my shoulder in his gut
F#And knocked his samples on the floor

[Intro]

Am Bm A Bm

[Verse 1]

Well, I was standing on the train tracks on a midnight blue

Trying to remember where I left my shoes

And in a natural way

My thoughts returned to you

So I walked into a honky-tonk jukebox saloon

To reflect on my losses and rock to some tunes

I thought it all through

Then I figured out what to do

[Chorus]

I’d start working for the train, train, feedly-dang

Feedle-otten Deeten-do Dangy-do

Feedle-otten Deeten-do Ding-Train-True

I started working for the train when I was looking for you

[Verse 2]

Sprung from the ward steel brainpan, pity-pity

Looked you up in Freehold for a face that I could trust

The foreman said you’d left out

He pointed at the office it was already late!

I smoothed down my hair

He was weary, short-tempered

He said I had just seconds to make my case

I put one hand on his shoulder

[Bridge]

And I said: “Feelings, feelings, are somewhat symptomatic of

Societal abrasions that conform electric static”

He said, “Son I don’t think you have that much of a brain”

I said, “You’ve got to have a brain when you’re working for the train”

I put my shoulder in his gut

And knocked his samples on the floor
