Key: A
Introduction: Am Bm A Bm
Bm
Well, I was standing on the train tracks on a midnight blue
E
Trying to remember where I left my shoes
F#
And in a natural way
Bm
My thoughts returned to you
Bm
So I walked into a honky-tonk jukebox saloon
E
To reflect on my losses and rock to some tunes
F#
I thought it all through
Bm
Then I figured out what to do
Bm
Id start working for the train, train, feedly-dang
E
Feedle-otten Deeten-do Dangy-do
F#
Feedle-otten Deeten-do Ding-Train-True
Bm
I started working for the train when I was looking for you
Bm
Sprung from the ward steel brainpan, pity-pity
E
Looked you up in Freehold for a face that I could trust
F#
The foreman said youd left out
In some kind of state
Bm
He pointed at the office it was already late!
Bm
I smoothed down my hair
And went to talk to the boss
E
He was weary, short-tempered
And had one eye on the clock
F#
He said I had just seconds to make my case
Bm
I put one hand on his shoulder
And stuck the other in his face
Bm
And I said:\u2028Feelings, feelings, are somewhat symptomatic of
A
Societal abrasions that conform electric static
E
He said, Son I dont think you have that much of a brain
Bm
I said, Youve got to have a brain when youre working for the train
Solo
Bm
Its a long run to Trenton
When you start about five
E
Some folks are tired and hungry
Some are barely alive
F#
But when that engine starts pumping
Those familiar tones
Bm
I dont care where the train is going
Cuz Im already home
Bm
I spent a long year
Dancing up and down that aisle
E
Pestering my savior just to let me see your smile
F#
The salesman was drunk
My training shot to the fore
Bm
I put my shoulder in his gut
F#
And knocked his samples on the floor
Bm
And I said:\u2028Feelings, feelings, are somewhat symptomatic of
A
Societal abrasions that conform electric static
E
He said, Son I dont think you have that much of a brain
Bm
I said, Youve got to have a brain when youre working for the train
Bm
Train, train, feedly-dang
E
Feedle-otten Deeten-do Dangy-do
F#
Feedle-otten Deeten-do Ding-Train-True
Bm
I started working for the train when I was looking for you
Bm
The Princeton Junction Depot
Is straight known to be staid
E
They wear Hounds-tooth and khaki
Most have already paid
F#
I looked under my visor
My heart stopped like it got froze
Bm
Lipstick like a 60s Vette
And polish on your toes
Bm
You had half of a smile
Watching me shakin like a hound
E
As triumpth filled my body
Missing love had been found
F#
I whooped and called Metuchen
As I stepped through the door
Bm
I put my hands around your hips
And kissed you then and ever more
Bm
And I said:\u2028Feelings, feelings, are somewhat symptomatic of
A
Societal abrasions that conform electric static
E
She said, Son I dont think you have that much of a brain
Bm
But youI got to have a brain cos youre working for the train

Train, train, feedly-dang
