Verse 1:

       C5 (strum once and hold)     C5
The Brakeman is letting off some steam ,

This has to be the slowest train that I have ever seen
                                           F5
and the Sandman's waiting to deliver me my dream ,
                  A5                           G5
Guess I'll lay my head against my elbow and the window
          F5                    G5                      C5
Watch the wheels go, Watch the wheels go,

Chorus:

     F5        G5            C5
Roll on, Roll on oh little train
F5                  G5                   C5
Brakeman blow your whistle, throw your weight upon the chain
     E5                              F5
Make way, for whatever will be, will be
            G5                          C5
Between the Sandman, the Brakeman, and me.

Verse 2:

And the Sandman's waiting to deliver me my dream , deliver me my dream , deliver me my dream ,
  F5
Today
                  A5                           G5
Guess I'll lay my head against my elbow and the window
       F5                 G5                   C5
Let my wheels go, let my wheels go
