B5      E5        A5      E5
When I was young I spent my summer days
              B5
layin' on the tracks
    E5            B5    E5              A5
The sound of the wheel rollin' on the steel
        E5
Took me out, took me back

Chorus:
    A5          E5
Big train from Memphis
    A5          E5
Big train from Memphis
         B5        E5
Now it's gone gone gone
B5        E5
Gone gone gone

Verse 2:
Like no one before, he let out a roar
And I just had to tag along
Each night I went to bed with a sound in my head
And the dream was a song

(chorus)
(instrumental)

Verse 3:
Well I rode 'em in and back out again
You know what they say about trains
But I'm tellin' you, since that Memphis train came through
This whole world's not the same

(chorus)

(play E and fade)
