BIG TRAIN (FROM MEMPHIS)

John Fogerty


[E] When I was young I [B7] spent my [E] summer [A] days
layin' on the [E] tracks [B7]
The [E] sound of the wheel [B7] rollin' on the [E] steel
Took me [A] out, took me [E] back

Big [A] train from [E] Memphis
Big [A] train from [E] Memphis
Now it's [B7] gone gone [E] gone
[B7] Gone gone [E] gone

Like [E] no one before, he [B7] let out a roar
And [E] I just [A] had to tag a-[E]-long [B7]
Each [E] night I went to bed with a [B7] sound in my [E] head
And the [A] dream was a [E] song

Big [A] train from [E] Memphis
Big [A] train from [E] Memphis
Now it's [B7] gone gone [E] gone
[B7] Gone gone [E] gone

Well [E] I rode 'em in and [B7] back out again
You [E] know what they [A] say about [E] trains [B7]
But [E] I'm tellin' you, since that [B7] Memphis train came through
This whole [E] world's [A] not the [E] same

Big [A] train from [E] Memphis
Big [A] train from [E] Memphis
Now it's [B7] gone gone [E] gone
[B7] Gone gone [E] gone
