D G A D A Bm
When Jenny was a little girl, she only dreamed of trains
G A
She never play with dolls or lacy kinds of things
D G A D A Bm
Jenny counted boxcars instead of counting sheep
G A D
She could go anywhere when she went to sleep
G A D A Bm
All she ever talked about was getting on the ride
G A D
She was living in another time you could see it in her eyes
G A D A Bm
And every day after school she'd head down to the track
G A D
Waiting for the train that was never coming back
G A D
Jenny dreamed of trains
G A D G
When the nighttime came
A Bm A E/G# G
Nobody knew how she made it come true
A D
Jenny dreamed of trains
G A D A Bm
The depot's been boarded up, the trains have turned to rust
G A D
There hasn't been a train through here since the mill went bust
G A D A Bm
No one believe her when she said she heard the train
G A D
Said she was just a little girl acting kind of strange
G A D
Jenny dreamed of trains
G A D G
When the nighttime came
A Bm A E/G# G
Nobody knew how she made it come true
A D
Jenny Dreamed of trains
G A D A Bm G A D
G A D A Bm G A D
G A D A Bm
Jenny laid a penny on the track one day
G A D
in God we trust she walked away
G A D A
The very next morning all she could find
Bm G A D
Was a little piece of copper squashed flatter than a dime
G A D
Jenny dreamed of trains
G A D G
When the nighttime came
A Bm A E/G# G
Nobody knew how she made it come true
A D G
Jenny Dreamed of trains
A Bm A E/G# G
Nobody knew how she made it come true
