HOW TO PLAY

  1. 1Put your right thumb on middle C. Most beginner songs stay under five fingers — you never move your hand.
  2. 2Set the speed down and turn CLICK on. Press each key exactly when the note reaches the line.
  3. 3Loop the bar that keeps breaking until it feels easy, then add the left hand and take the speed back up.

LYRICS

Freight train, freight train (A)run y so fast,

freight train, freight train (D)run so fast.

(F#7)Please don’t tell what my (G)train

I’m on, and they won’t (D)know what I’ve (G)route (A7)I’ve (D)gone.

When I’m dead and (A)in y my grave,

no more good times (D)here I’ll crave.

(F#7)Place the stones at old (G)head

and feet, and tell them (D)all that I’ve (G)gone (A7)to (D)sleep.

(D)by.
