Oil Tanker Train Merle Haggard
Oil Tanker Train
INTRO: C G C
The [C]oil tanker train from [F]down on the river
In [C]Southern Pacific and [D]Santa Fe [G]names[D] [G]
Would [C]rumble and rattle the old [F]boxcar we lived in
And [C]I was a kid then and I [G]loved that old [C]train
Loaded with crude oil, headed for town
The boxcar would tremble from the top to the ground
And my mother could feel it even before it came
"Get up son to the window, here comes the oil train"
CHORUS:
[F] [C]
The memories we felt in that [D]home by the [G]track[D] [G]
And [C]all these years later it's still stuck in my [F]brain
Oh I [C]loved that old [G]oil tanker [C]train
[C]Dad worked for the railroad when [F]I was a [C]kid
And my fondest memories were [D]things that he [G]did[D] [G]
And [C]early one Christmas, after [F]Santa Claus [C]came
There 'neath the tree ran a t[G]oy tanker [C]train
CHORUS
OUTRO: C F C G C
