With A Memory Like Mine

Em  A2

Em
I can see that train a comin'
           A2                   Em
Watch that big light shine this way
Hear that whistle softly blowing
            A2           Em
Lord, it's been an awful day

Em
I watched him leave that Friday morning
       A2              Em
It was in the month of May
I told my son to be a good soldier
      A2               Em
But return again some day

Em
He was returned just one year later
          A2               Em
But, I'll not forget that day
The baggage car is where he traveled
     A2              Em
In a casket where he lay

       D
Train man, keep your whistle blowing
         F                 Em
Make it moan and make it whine
            D
You make a man feel mighty lonesome
       Em  D        C
With a memory like mine....

Em
In a little country graveyard
      A2             Em
On a dark and dreary day
They laid a flag upon the casket
         A2            Em
And the casket in the grave

Em
I couldn't stand it any longer
       A2               Em
And I knew not what to pray
I cried, "Oh Lord, I hate to leave him
      A2                Em
All alone beneath that clay"

       D
Train man, keep your whistle blowing
         F                 Em
Make it moan and make it whine
            D
You make a man feel mighty lonesome
       Em  D        C
With a memory like mine....

Em
I can see him as a baby
      A2                Em
I can hear him call my name
I can feel him under fire
            A2               Em
And see him rising from the flames

Em
Lord, if I could I'd trade places
        A2             Em
I would gladly give my all
I'd wrap that flag around me like a blanket
           A2               Em
And listen for the clods to fall

       D
Train man, keep your whistle blowing
         F                 Em
Make it moan and make it whine
            D
You make a man feel mighty lonesome
       Em  D        C
With a memory like mine....

       D
Train man, keep your whistle blowing
         F                 Em
Make it moan and make it whine
            D
You make a man feel mighty lonesome
       Em  D        C
With a memory like mine....Just like mine
