Intro:   | C | C | F | C | C C/B | Am D9 | F G | C |

 C                                    F                 C
 One toke over the line, sweet Jesus, one toke over the line
             C/B       Am      D9       F        G        C
 Sittin' downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line
 C
 Waitin' for the train that goes home, sweet Mary
 F                           C
 Hoping that the train is on time
             C/B       Am      D9       F        G        C
 Sittin' downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line

C             F               C
Who do you love, I hope it's me
         D9        F                     G(7)
I've been changing,    as you can plainly see
C                                            F                 C
  I felt the joy and I learned about the pain, and my mama said
           Am                D9       F
If I should choose to make it part of me
G(7)
     Would surely strike me dead, and now I'm ... (chorus)

C         F               C
I sail away, a country mile
             D9       F                     G(7)
And now I'm returning,    and showing off my smile
 C                                        F                  C
I met all the girls and I loved myself a few, and to my surprise
         Am              D9          F
Like everything else that I've been through
G(7)
     They opened up my eyes, and now I'm ... (chorus)
