[Intro]
C F G7 C

[Chorus 1]
C F G7 C
Was a time when the railroad passed through here
F G7
And the train whistle echoed loud and clear
F Em
You could hear her slowly rolling
F Fm
As the engine bell was tolling
C F G7 C
Was a time when the railroad passed through here

[Verse 1]
C F G7 C
There were windows and doors behind those boards
F G7
Now the station is silent evermore
F Em
But if you listen very closely
F Fm
You could hear so faint and ghostly
C F G7 C
A conductor shout a plaintive "all aboard"

[Guitar Solo]
C F G7 C
C F G7
F Em
F Fm
C F G7 C

[Chorus 2]
C F G7 C
Was a time when the railroad came through town
F G7
Split the night with an old familiar sound
F Em
But now the rails are getting rusty
F Fm
And the platform's getting dusty
C F G7 C
There was a time when the railroad came through town
