[Em]New York Central [G]Railroad was [C]something in her [G]day
A [Em]million tons of [G]coal and steel [C]must have passed this [G]way
The [C]ghost of some old [G]engineer

"Could I [D]see your ticket please"[A]
[C]Ahhh[G]
Chorus
When it's [C]gone, it's [G][D/F#]gone[Em]
But the [C]echoes just go [G]on and on and [D]on and on and [G]on

In the [Em]age of [G]possibility, cheap [C]gas, John Glenn and [G]tube TV[Em]

And the [C]neighbour kid came home [G]in a box[C]
Now we don't [G]believe so much
Of[D] everything we hear[A]
[C]Ahhh[G]

Now [Em]every town I [G]pass on through has [C]the same outer [G]skin
How [C]could he sell his [G]father's bones
The [C]others did, but [G]he just won't

But for [D]now just let 'em graze"[A]
