Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Gm][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
Well, I [G]ride [C]on a mailtrain
I can't buy no [G]thrill
I've been up all night
Just [C]leanin' on the [G]windowsill
Well, if I [F]die
On [C]top of the [Dm]hill[D]
And if [G]I don't make it
You know my baby will
Well, don't the moon look good, mama
[C]Shinin' through the tre[G]es?
And don't the brakeman look good,
mama
[C]Flagging down the Double [G]E?
And don't the sun look good
[F]Settin' dow[C]n over the sea[D]?
And don't my [G]good gal look fine
When [C]she's comin' after [G]me?
[C][G][C]
[G][F][C][D][G][C][G]
Now wintertime is coming
The [C]windows are covered in [G]frost
I went to tell everybody
But [C]I could not get i[G]t across
Well, I wanna be your [F]lover, babe
[C]I don't wanna be [D]your boss
Don't [G]say I never warned [C]you
When your train [Am]gets [G]lost[C][G]
[C][G][F][C][D]
[G][C][F][G]
Well, I ride [C]on a mailtrain
I can't buy no [G]thrill
Well, I've been up all night
Just [C]leanin' on a win[G]dowsill
Well, if I [F]die
On [C]top of the [D]hill[Dm][D]
And if [G]I don't make it
[C]You kno[G]w my bab[C]y wil[G]l
Well, if I don't make it
[C]You know my baby wil[G]l
