[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
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 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.

Don't you know I'm just a...

Waiting for the train that goes home, sweet Mary,

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.
 
[Outro]
C           Em        Am      Am/D     Fmaj7/C  G        C
Sitting downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line.

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!
