           Dm7              Gm7
There is a train at Version City  
Am7/G   Dm7            Gm7
Waiting for the rhythm mail
Am7/G      Dm7                  Gm7
If you can jump then jump right now  
Am7/G            Dm7     F  Em     Dm7
She can pull you through to better days  
  

Is that the train that the speak of  
The one I heard in my younger days  
All great bluesmen have rode her  
I'm jumping up gonna ride that train  

                 Bm              D
There's a lonely soul out on the crossroads  
             Bm                   D
He's waiting there in the pouring rain  
             Bm             D
He's looking for that great ride yeh  
                 Bm               D
That'll take him to oh what's her name  
  
               Dm7                Gm7
So I rode that train from Version City
    Am7/G  Dm7               Gm7
For ninety-nine an' one half days  
Am7/G Dm7               Gm7
Never heard such rhythm sound  
Am7/G        Dm7  F         Em     Dm7
It was in my soul which was on the train  
  
We went straight through Syndrum Inc.  
Up an' over the Acapella Pass  
Then Gibson Town and Fenderville  
All stations to the Mesa Boogie Ranch  

            Bm              D
We saw that soul out on the cross roads  
        Bm                   D
Waitin' there in the pouring rain
              Bm               D
We called hey engine slow your rhythms  
                Bm               D
See he wants to ride the version train  
  
             Dm7                Gm7
We rode that train from Version City  
Am7/G      Dm7               Gm7 
For ninety-nine and one half years  
Am7/G   Dm7             Gm7
I never seen such funky country  
Am7/G        Dm7  F   Em  Dm7
While riding with the engineers  
  

Could not fill no application  
Before I rode this rhythm train  
Could not work at my station  
Before I rode the version train  
  
There is a train at Version City  
Waiting for the rhythm mail  
If you can jump then jump right now  
She can pull you through to better days
