G:  320003
G*: 320033


[Verse 1]
G             G*       D
I can strum a little, I can hold a chord
Am             C          G
This ain't the gospel and I ain't the lord
            G*           Am
I'm no holy roller, but for what it's worth
A7                           D              Dsus4
My freedom's a train ride to heaven on earth


[Chorus]
D               Em
It's not just a train
                D              Em
It's saying goodbye, saying hello
                 C                    G
To where we have been, where we might go
                  D                     Em
It's what we have passed, what we might see
                C                      G    D   Em   C
It's not just a train, it's freedom to me


[Verse 2]
G               G*              D
Kids flattening pennies as the iron horse rolls by
            Am              C
Between the trains I see an old man
G
Face full of smiles
            G*        Am
Young woman crying as her lover leaves
A7                      D                   Dsus4
Gun on his shoulder and stripes on his sleeve


[Chorus]
D               Em
It's not just a train
                D              Em
It's saying goodbye, saying hello
                 C                     G
To where we have been, where  we might go
              D                   Em
Places we've passed, places we'll see
                C                      G    D   Em   C
It's not just a train, it's freedom to me


[Verse 3]
          G                G*      D
Through a crack in the the slats a harvest moon shines
   Am           C       G
On Harper Lee's pages I turn to kill time
G                 G*          Am
The car toads are waiting for me at the station
            A7                           D
To give the bum's rush to a frost-bitten 'bo


[Chorus]
D               Em
It's not just a train
                D              Em
It's saying goodbye, saying hello
                 C                     G
To where we have been, where  we might go
             D                    Em
People we've passed, people we'll see
                C                      G   D   Em      C          G   D   Am
It's not just a train, it's freedom to me...      It's freedom to me...
C          G   D   Em   C          G
Freedom to me...        Freedom to me
