Train song (demise of the caboose) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Whe[G]n
[D]I was a lit[G]tle kid,
I'd [D]have to sit like [G]most kids did
[D]Counting as [G]the train cars passed,
[D]waiting for the ver[G]y last
To [D]see the [G]old man waving his
[D]overalls and [G]his hair all gray
[D]Smiling in the [G]sun[C]
Nowadays it ain't no [D]use
[C]There's no [D]caboo
Can't understand [G]how they can
[D]Take the job from [G]a kind old man
[D]Ste[G]al the[D] joy from a
[G]young child's heart
[D]Just when it gets to [G]the groovy part
[C]Nowadays it ain't no you[D], no[C]
[D]Ca boose
[G]Through field[D]s they ramble
[G]Over mountains [D]they crawl
[G]Why they should go do [D]every tale,
one and [C]all[D]
I'd [G]like to take this time [D]to
complain about [G]the trains[D]
Play[G]ing[D]
[G]They use[D]d to have the fin[G]est chefs
A [D]silent car, a nice [G]place to rest
The [D]windows now are [G]sealed up tight
A [D]man can't breathe and
[G]he's got the right
And [D]what about the [G]tracks
they laid [D]long ago
Oh, they [G]all decay
A [D]job for every [G]man
New [D]tracks across the [G]land
I [D]feel the need [G]to say a bit more
Instead [D]of building up [G]a war
I [D]got a few more [G]healthy chores
For the [D]fellas dressed in [G]gray
Build [Bb]up a train runnin' b[Eb]y the sun
[Bb]Nex t to small towns[Eb], every one
[Bb]Granny has two [Eb]older drives
[Bb]Read a book and [Eb]look outside[Bb][Eb]
[G]Through fields they ram[D]ble
[G]Over mountains the[D]y cli[G]mb
Why they can go to [D]every town
Yours and [C]mine[D]
Nowadays [G]there ain't no [D]youth
[G]It's no
Ca[D]boose[G][D][G][D][G][D][G]
[D][Am][D]
[Am][D][Am][D][Am][D][Am]
[D][Am][D]
