Key Bb capo 3

[Intro]
G G G G

[Chorus]
G
Well my train don't run on silver rails
D
My whistle ain't made of gold
D
I'm always runnin' on an uphill grade
G
Pullin' a heavy load
G
And I know it's gonna be that way
C
Till I'm gray and old
G
Well my train don't run on silver rails
D G G
And my whistle ain't made of gold

[Verse]
G
Well this old train ain't never on time
D
Trouble stays on the line

A twisted rail or a broken wheel
G
Or else the light won't shine
G
And that old steam pressure is always low
D
I gotta keep shovelin' coal
D
Cause my train don't run on silver rails
G G
And my whistle ain't made of gold

[Chorus]
G
Well my train don't run on silver rails
D
My whistle ain't made of gold
D
I'm always runnin' on an uphill grade
G
Pullin' a heavy load
G
And I know it's gonna be that way
C
Till I'm gray and old
G
Well my train don't run on silver rails
D G G G G
And my whistle ain't made of gold

[Verse]
G
But I’ll keep doing the best I can
D
To give this old train a ride
D
And I’m gonna face all our troubles
