A           E         A                                
I’d rather be stuck in some dark hollow
                  D      A                                       
Where the sun refuses to shine
                 E     D                                         
Then to be here alone, knowing that you’re gone
         A           E       A    E  A                                
It would cause me to lose my mind 
                                                               
                                                             
[Chorus]
             E       A                                           
So blow your whistle freight train
                   D        A                                    
Carrying me far on down the track
           E       D                                             
I’m going away I’m leaving today
    A           E            A    E  A                                
I’m going and I ain’t coming back 
                                                               

[Verse 2]                                                               
           A           E         A                                
I’d rather be stuck in some dark hollow
                  D      A                                       
Where the sun refuses to shine
                    E        D                                   
Than to be stuck in New York City
     A               E         A     E  A                             
In a small room with you on my mind. 
                                                               

[Chorus]
             E       A                                           
So blow your whistle freight train
                   D        A                                    
Carrying me far on down the track
           E       D                                             
I’m going away I’m leaving today
    A           E            A    E  A                                
I’m going and I ain’t coming back
