(Capo on 2)
Intro.: |(D) |(D) |(D) |(G) | x 4
I'm gonna (D)give 'em that 2, 4, 4 on the floor, like an outlaws boys on the day before
Got the pretty girls out there beggin' for more, gotta give em all what they came here for
(D7)Doin' my thing singin' my song, right on track I'm chuggin' along
I'm here and gone like yesterday, rollin' like an (G)old freight (D)train
Solo: / / / |(D) |(D) |(D)---
On a wing and a prayer and a glorified (G)grey-(F)hound (D)bus
Flying down the road runnin' 9-0 and kicking up dust
(F)Drinkin' (G)truck stop coffee, countin' birds on those telephone wires
Burn-(F)in' the (D)midnight oil and the tread off these old goodyear tires ---
I'm gonna give 'em that (D)2, 4, 4 on the floor, like an outlaws boys on the day before
Got the pretty girls out there beggin' for more, gotta give em all what they came here for
(D7)Doin' my thing singing' my song, right on track I'm chuggin' along
I'm here and gone like yesterday, rollin' like an (G)old freight (D)train
And some-(Bm)times my mind is a (G)million miles away (D)
I know you're (Bm)sound asleep at (G)home while I'm on this (D)stage
And I'm (Em)missin' you, wishin' I was (G)kissin' you everyday (D)
But girl, I gotta keep (Em)rollin', (G)rollin' like an old freight train
Solo: |(G) |(G) |(Bm) |(Bm) |(A) |(A) |(D) |(D) |
|(G) |(G) |(Bm) |(Bm) |(A) |(A) |(A) |(A)
And its a (Em)mighty lonesome sound (F)when there's (G)not soul around to (D)help you ease your pain
But you gotta keep (D)rollin', (G)rollin' like an old freight (D)train ---
I'm gonna give em that (D)2, 4, 4 on the floor, like an outlaws boys on the day before
Got the pretty girls out there beggin' for more, gotta give em all what they came here for
(D7)Doin' my thing singin' my song, right on track I'm chuggin' along
I'm here and gone like yesterday, rollin' like an (G)old freight (D)train comin' on down the line
(D)Feel that diesel engine whine, smell the smoke stack, hear the gears grind
Full steam ahead halfway out of my mind, I'm too far gone to be turnin' back
Goin' clickity clack down the railroad tracks
I'm here and gone like yesterday, rollin' like an (G)old freight (D)train
Just like an (G)old freight (D)train, tell me do you wanna (G)ride (F)this (D)train -----
