C# D#m While riding on a train goinʼ west F# G# I feel asleep for take my a rest C# F# C# I dreamed a dream that made me sad G# F# C# Concerning myself and the first few friend that I had. D#m With half-damp eyes I stared to the room F# G# Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon C# F# C# Where we together weathered many a storm G# F# C# Laughinʼ and singing ʼtill the early hours of the mornʼ. D#m By the old wooden stove where our hats was hung F# G# Our words were told, our songs were sung C# F# C# Where we longed for nothinʼ and were quite satisfied G# F# C# Talking and a-joking about the world outside. D#m With haunted hearts through the heat and cold F# G# We never thought we could ever get old G# F# C# We thought we could sit forever in fun G# F# C# But our chances really was a million to one. D#m As easy it was to tell black from white F# G# It was all that easy to tell wrong from right C# F# C# And our choices they were few and the thought never hit G# C# C# That the one road we travelled would ever shatter and split. D#m How many a year has passed and gone F# G# Many a gamble has been lost and won C# F# C# And many a road taken by many a first friend G# F# C# And each one Iʼve never seen again. D#m I wish, I wish, I wish in vain F# G# That we could sit simply in that room again C# F# C# Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat G# F# C# Iʼd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that.
