Hey little train! We're jumping on
G
The train that goes to the Kingdom
Em7
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
D A6
And the train ain't even left the station
Bm
Hey, little train! Wait for me!
G
I once was blind but now I see
Em7
Have you left a seat for me?
D A6
Is that such a stretch of the imagination?
Bm
Hey little train! Wait for me!
G
I was held in chains but now I'm free
Em7
I'm hanging in there, don't you see
D A6
In this process of elimination
Bm
Hey little train! We're jumping on
G
The train that goes to the Kingdom
Em7
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
D A6
It's beyond my wildest expectation
Bm
Hey little train! We're jumping on
G
The train that goes to the Kingdom
Em7
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
D A6
And the train ain't even left the station
