[Intro]
G


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


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

[Bridge]
           Bm
If that conductor
only knew all the
Em
trouble I've been
 through
        Am
Just to be here
on this train
       D
 once again
G
Freedom of a
Bm
hobo ain't so
G
bad you can dream
of all the wealth
Bm           G
you might've had
        Am
I guess livin' on
      C
 this train is gettin'
   G        Am
to me I see crystal
      C
chandeliers and
   G
burgundy

[Outro]
           Bm
If that conductor
 only
 knew all the
Em
trouble I've been
through
        Am
Just to be here
on this
            D
train once again
           G
If there's nothing
in this
Bm               G
world I've gotta do
But to ride these
rails of
Bm             G
steel my whole life
 through
     Am
Then take away these
C            G
visions that I see of
Am            C
crystal chandeliers
       G
and burgundy
   Am
Of crystal
      C
chandeliers
       G
and burgundy
