Verse 1:

G     B          E7
Ev'ry night when I lie down
    A7
and close my wear-y eyes
      D7
On my train of dreams
        G        AD
I go to Paradise

G       B      E7
Sandman is the engineer
     A7
When my train pulls a-way
                        D7 C#7D7
Ev'ry night he hears me say

Chorus:

G                  D        D7
DREAM TRAIN please carry me back
                 G                 B7
DREAM TRAIN stay on the right track
E7           Am
Take me back where I belong
           A           A7
Sound your whistle and gong
         D7
Tell the gang it won't be long

G                  D            D7
DREAM TRAIN please turn on your steam
             G                B
Morning will soon end my dream
E7   E      Am             C
Stop!when a sweet old lady hollers, "Welcome"
G  D     G    AD
My DREAM TRAIN

Verse 2:

G       B         E7
I can't wait till moonbeams come
    A7
And bring the close of day
       D7
For at night I'm back in
          G         AD
Days that used to be

G     B        E7
On my train of dreams
            A7
I'll soon beon my merry way
                      D7C#7D7
To the only place for me

              G
