The Rocket by Fred Eaglesmith

Verse
G+G               C majorC
Son, could you help me on this platform
D MajorD              G+G
I'm not so good at climbing stairs
                C majorC
I brought me a drink and some sandwiches
 D MajorD                G+G
I wanted to just sit and watch the trains

Verse
G+G               C majorC
I come down here almost every Sunday
  D MajorD              G+G
My grandkids they used to come too
              C majorC
Now they drop me off at the front gate
 D MajorD                    G+G
I guess that they've got better things to do

Chorus
G+G        C majorC
No. 47, she's a good one
D MajorD          G+G
No. 63 sings like a bird
          C majorC
No. 29, that's the one they call 'The Rocket'
  D MajorD                G+G
Hey that's the saddest train I ever heard

Verse
G+G          C majorC
Son, I'm a decorated veteran
 D MajorD                   G+G
I fought in what they called 'The Great War'
 G+G                 C majorC
I used to believe in everything it stood for
 D MajorD            G+G
I don't believe in much anymore

Chorus
G+G        C majorC
No. 47, she's a good one
D MajorD          G+G
No. 63 sings like a bird
          C majorC
No. 29, that's the one they call 'The Rocket'
  D MajorD                G+G
Hey that's the saddest train I ever heard

Break

Verse
G+G               C majorC
Son, you look just like my boy
  D MajorD             G+G
He stood here almost 40 years today
                       C majorC
He looked so good in that brand new soldier's uniform
     D MajorD               G+G
But that Rocket never brought him back again

Chorus
G+G        C majorC
No. 47, she's a good one
D MajorD          G+G
No. 63 sings like a bird
          C majorC
No. 29, that's the one they call 'The Rocket'
  D MajorD                G+G
Hey that's the saddest train I ever heard
          C majorC
No. 29, that's the one they call 'The Rocket'
  D MajorD                G+G
Hey that's the saddest train I ever heard
