[Verse 1]
     C                Em              C
This boxcar's been my home since St Antone
            C               Em                   C
'Cause this ankle of mine I turned while hoppin' on
       Dm                 F               C
Shoots pain that feeds my dreams with luxuries
      Dm            F               C
I see crystal chandeliers and burgundy


[Verse 2]
      C                Em                 C
I can feel my mother's heartbeat from the track
         C           Em                C
It's the rhythm of a son that won't be back
     Dm             F              C
Lord knows where my mind is takin' me
      Dm            F               C
I see crystal chandeliers and burgundy


[Chorus]
           Em                       Am
If that conductor only knew all the trouble I've been through
           Dm                       G
Just to be here on this train once again


[Verse 3]
C            Em            C
Freedom of a hobo ain't so bad
        C                Em                  C
You can dream of all the wealth you might've had
        Dm             F                   C
I guess livin' on this train is gettin' to me
      Dm            F               C
I see crystal chandeliers and burgundy


[Instrumental]
| Dm     | F      | C      | C      | 


[Chorus]
           Em                       Am
If that conductor only knew all the trouble I've been through
           Dm                       G
Just to be here on this train once again


[Verse 4]
           C               Em               C
If there's nothing in this world I've gotta do
       C                    Em                 C
But to ride these rails of steel my whole life through
     Dm              F              C
Then take away these visions that I see
   Dm            F               C
Of crystal chandeliers and burgundy
   Dm            F               C
Of crystal chandeliers and burgundy
