[Intro]
C* C7 Fmaj7/C C C/G C
Em Am Am/D Fmaj7/C G C
[Chorus]
C* C/G C C7 Fmaj7/C C C/G
One toke over the line, sweet Jesus, one toke over the line.
C Em Am Am/D Fmaj7/C G C
Sitting downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line.
C* C/G C C7
Waiting for the train that goes home, sweet Mary,
Fmaj7/C C C/G
hoping that the train is on time.
C Em Am Am/D Fmaj7/C G C
Sitting downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line.
[Verse 1]
C* C7 Fmaj7/C C
Who do you love? I hope it's me.
Am/D Fmaj7/C G
I've been changing, as you can plainly see.
C C7 Fmaj7/C C
I felt the joy and I learned about the pain, and my mama said;
Am Am/D Fmaj7/C
If I should choose to make it part of me,
G
would surely strike me dead and now I'm...
[Chorus]
C* C/G C C7 Fmaj7/C C C/G

hoping that the train is on time.
C Em Am Am/D Fmaj7/C G C
Sitting downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line.
[Verse 2]
C* C7 Fmaj7/C C
I sail away, a country mile.
Am/D Fmaj7/C G
And now I'm returning, and showing off my smile.
C C7 Fmaj7/C C
I met all the girls and I loved myself a few, and to my surprise,
Am Am/D Fmaj7/C
like everything else that I ve been through,
G
they opened up my eyes and now I'm...
[Chorus]
C* C/G C C7 Fmaj7/C C C/G
One toke over the line, sweet Jesus, one toke over the line.
C Em Am Am/D Fmaj7/C G C
Sitting downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line.
Don't you know I'm just a...
C* C/G C C7
Waiting for the train that goes home, sweet Mary,
Fmaj7/C C C/G
hoping that the train is on time.
C Em Am Am/D Fmaj7/C G C
Sitting downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line.
[Interlude]
C* C7 Fmaj7/C C C/G C
Em Am Am/D Fmaj7/C G C
Don't you know I'm just a...
C* C/G C C7
Waiting for the train that goes home, sweet Mary,
Fmaj7/C C C/G
hoping that the train is on time.
C Em Am Am/D Fmaj7/C G C
Sitting downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line.
I wanna be...

One toke over the line, sweet Jesus, one toke over the line.
C Em Am Am/D Fmaj7/C G C
Sitting downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line.

Waiting for the train that goes home, sweet Mary,

Love your extra C/G's , you can really get a rhythm going and it gives the Bass a boost as well πππ

This is a lot of fun. I'm trying to work out the best fingerings for me that let me clearly sound out only the notes I should play, and yet change chords quickly and keep the rhythm. Thanks for posting this. You have skills!
