Verse 1:
C (strum once and hold) C
The Brakeman is letting off some steam,
This has to be the slowest train that I have ever seen
and the Sandman's waiting to deliver me my [F]dream,
Guess I'll lay my [Am7]head against my elbow and the [G]window
Watch the [F]wheels go, Watch the [G]wheels go,[C]
Chorus:
Roll [F]on, Roll [G]on oh little [C]train
[F]Brakeman blow your [G]whistle, throw your [C]weight upon the chain
Make [Em]way, for whatever will be, will [F]be
Between the [G]Sandman, the Brakeman, and [C]me.
Verse 2:
And the Sandman's waiting to deliver me my dream, deliver me my dream, deliver me my dream,
To[F]day
Guess I'll lay my [Am7]head against my elbow and the [G]window
Let my [F]wheels go, let my [G]wheels go[C]
