[Intro]  Am  D7  G
                    C
When I hear trains… I see a brakeman on a boxcar against the sky 
                                               Ooo----------------------------------------ooh
                                                                           G
A silhouette smiling in the lantern light  And I’m young again
   Ooo-------------------------------------ooh
                    C
When I hear trains… It’s like an Arkansas storm in this heart of mine
                                                   Ooo--------------------------------------ooh
                                                           G
Forgotten days start to fly,  And I’m remembering 
Ooo------------------------ooh
                    Am         C      D7       G
When I hear trains,... Time stands still

{ CHORUS }
G      
Ooh...Ooh    Ooh...Ooh 
G                                                           Em
Is there ever more to miss  than the lonesome sound 
              Ooo---------------ooh
               G                                 Em                       Am       
Like the ghost of a heartache hanging around  In the night
               Ooo-----------------ooh
D7      
Ooh... Ooh  
G                                              Em
I was never far away  from a railroad track
          Ooo---------ooh
           G                                   Em
Like a rusty old ribbon tying up my back
           Ooo------------ooh
  Am                       C                         D7                                                    
I hear that engine calling me back home
  Ooo--------------------------------------------ooh
                         Am                     D7                 G                … Em
That’s where I go,                      when I hear trains 
                               Where I go

                         Am                     D7                 G                … D  D7  G
That’s where I go,                     when I hear trains 
                               Where I go
