Big train
from Memphis

B7 E A
1. When I was young I spent my summer
E B7
days layin' on the tracks,
E B7 E A
the
sound of the wheel rollin' on the steel
E E7
took
me out, took me back.
A E A E
Big train from Memphis, big train from Memphis,
B7
E B7 E
now it's gone gone
gone, gone gone gone.
E B7 E A
2. Like no one before, he let out a roar,
E B7
and I just had to
tag along,
E B7 E A
each night I went
to bed with a sound in my head,
E E7
and
the dream was a song.
+ CHORUS + instrumental = verse
2 + A - E - B7 - E
E B7 E A
3. Well, I rode 'em in and back out again,
E
B7
you
know what they say about trains,
E B7 E A
but
I'm tellin' you, when that Memphis train came through,
E E7
this
whole world's not the same
+ CHORUS + E ~ …..
