Son, could you help me on this platform
D G
I'm not so good at climbing stairs
C
I brought me a drink and some sandwiches
D G
I wanted to just sit and watch the trains
Verse
G C
I come down here almost every Sunday
D G
My grandkids they used to come too
C
Now they drop me off at the front gate
D G
I guess that they've got better things to do
Chorus
G C
No. 47, she's a good one
D G
No. 63 sings like a bird
C
No. 29, that's the one they call 'The Rocket'
D G
Hey that's the saddest train I ever heard
Verse
G C
Son, I'm a decorated veteran
D G
I fought in what they called 'The Great War'
G C
I used to believe in everything it stood for
D G
I don't believe in much anymore
Chorus
G C
No. 47, she's a good one
D G
No. 63 sings like a bird

No. 29, that's the one they call 'The Rocket'

Hey that's the saddest train I ever heard

Verse
G C
Son, you look just like my boy
D G
He stood here almost 40 years today

He looked so good in that brand new soldier's uniform
D G
But that Rocket never brought him back again

No. 47, she's a good one

No. 63 sings like a bird

No. 29, that's the one they call 'The Rocket'

Hey that's the saddest train I ever heard
C
No. 29, that's the one they call 'The Rocket'

Hey that's the saddest train I ever heard
