Verse 1:
F
There's an engine at the station and the whistle calls my name, 
C                               A#                      F
It's callin' callin' callin', 'Come and get aboard the train.' 
My baby's gone and I'm alone to live in misery, 
C                        A#                 F
I'm gonna call and make a reservation for me. 

Chorus 1:
F                                               C
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train.
                        F                       C
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train.

Verse 2:
F
I'm gonna climb aboard and ride until I learn to smile, 
C                                    A#                     F
I'll be knockin' out the blues while I'm knockin' out the miles. 
With my guitar, beat and rythm, to the click-clack of the wheels 
C                                     A#                F
I'm gonna sing the blues 'cause that's the way that I feel. 

Chorus 2:
F                                               C
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train.
                        F                       C
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train.

Verse 3:
F
Conductor, go and tell the man to shovel on the coal
C                               A#              F
It doesn't seem half as bad as long as I can roll. 
Give me another ticket and I'll stay and ride with you. 
C                                        A#                     F
There's nothing left to live for in this world we're rollin' through. 

Chorus 3:
F                                               C
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train.
                        F                       C
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train.
