This is the pattern I use, find your own key...

Hope the spacing holds...

   
                                                                        1                                             4
I woke up this mornin' in the back of my Chevy again.
                                                                         5
As broke and alone as I think that I ever have been.


No matter how I play these big city games I can't win.
                                                                                                                           1
Goin' back where a man still has meanin' and a friend is a friend.


          1
Give me a long, slow movin' freight train.
             4                1
Don't want no fast, high flyin' airplane.
          6m                      4
Sing me a slow, lonesome old love song,
       5                      1
Before too long, I'll be long gone.


Gonna pack up my suitcase and call up a few friends I know.
And I'll saddle that Chevy and drive her 'till she just won't go.
Then I'll catch me a slow freight that's headed for God only knows.
And forget all this livin' too fast and dyin' too slow.

No chords, but is this the song?


SLOW MOVING FREIGHT TRAIN
Hugh Moffatt/Song Media c/o Multimedia Music Group/BMI

I woke up this mornin' in the back of my Chevy again.
As broke and alone as I think that I ever have been.
No matter how I play these big city games I can't win.
Goin' back where a man still has meanin' and a friend is a friend.

Give me a long, slow movin' freight train.
Don't want a fast, high flyin' airplane.
Sing me a slow, lonesome old love song,
before too long, I'll be long gone.

Gonna pack up my suitcase and call up a few friends I know.
And I'll saddle that Chevy and drive her 'till she just won't go.
Then I'll catch me a slow freight that's headed for God only knows.
And forget all this livin' too fast and dyin' too slow.

Give me a long, slow movin' freight train.
Don't want a fast, high flyin' airplane.
Sing me a slow, lonesome old love song,
before too long, I'll be long gone.
