Intro: D* cadd9 C* D  X2

D*
Said I want to live the city life 
cadd9
This small town could eat me alive 
C*                                                DI (xx0232@1)gotta pack my things and go where the railroad takes me 
D*
Mama's too poor to send me away 
               cadd9
But I've been saving up on most everyday 
C*                                          DLittle (xx0232@1)bit out of each check from the Gas & Deli 


D*       cadd9                   C*
And the whistle keeps on blowing 
          DAnd (xx0232@1)the train keeps on rolling 



CHORUS:

And he said 
D*                    cadd9 
I ain't never been to New York City 
C*                        DI (xx0232@1)ain't seen the San Francisco Bay 
D*                     cadd9
I ain't never tried my hand in Vegas 
        C*
But you bet your bottom dollar 
                            D (xx0232@1)         D*
That's where I'm going the day after today 


       D*
So he locked the door and he killed the lights 
       cadd9
Took a six pack to get him through the night 
       C*                                 DDidn't (xx0232@1)have a plan just a good sense of direction 
     D*
And Maybelline, his beauty queen 
     cadd9
She cried all night cause the sheet were clean 
       C*                                  DBut (xx0232@1)he left her a lovers' note there apologizing 


D*        cadd9                     C*
He said I hear the whistle blowing 
       D (xx0232@1)   
Gotta catch it the train is rolling 


CHORUS

D*
The air is thick on the concrete isle 
      cadd9
Ain't nothing green for like twenty miles 
     C*                                 DAnd (xx0232@1)he ain't use to the sun and moon a hiding 
      D*
So he took his foot from out his mouth 
        cadd9
And he packed his things and went back down south 
     C*                               DBut (xx0232@1)Maybelline said "Babe my time's arising." 


D*     cadd9                     C*
Said I hear the whistle blowing 
        DGotta (xx0232@1)catch it the train is rolling 



And she said 
D*                    cadd9
I ain't never been to New York City 
C*                        DI (xx0232@1)ain't seen the San Francisco Bay 
D*                     cadd9
I ain't never tried my hand in Vegas 
 C*                                DI (xx0232@1)never seen the L.A lights shine bright 
         GBright, (320003@1)brighter than your smile was ever 
cadd9
Brighter than my desire was ever 
C*                                       DLonger (xx0232@1)burning than our love was ever...ohhhhh
