INTRO: D

[D]There's a big black train I've been hearin' all my life
Every night at sundown I h[C]ear it's lonesome [D]cry
When I look through the screen door I see a rocking chair
My mama's sitting in it thinking 'b[C]out that world out there

CHORUS:
She w[G]ants to go o[C]ver that mount[D]ain to [G]see what's [A]on the other si[D]de
She said "I w[G]ant to go o[C]ver that moun[D]tain b[Bm]efore the d[A]ay that I d[D]ie"

SOLO

[D]She's never set foot out of this poor valley holler
But she talks about her dreams of [C]some other way of l[D]ife

87 years of living and never had much of anything
Is it asking too much to see a [C]damned old diesel tr[D]ain

CHORUS

SOLO

[D]20 years ago today my daddy left this holler
He said "I'll be coming ba[C]ck tomorrow n[D]ight"

I remember the sound of his boot heels in the gravel
Well he ain't been back since and he [C]never said go[D]odbye

CHORUS

[Bm]Before the [A]day that I d[D]ie
