  C 
Gonna take a sentimental journey 
              Em   G#  G7 
Gonna set my heart at ease 
   C            F          A#9 
Gonna take a sentimental journey 
C         Fdim  C   G7  C 
To renew  old  memories 
C 
Got my bag, I got my reservation 
                   Em   G#    G7 
Spent each dime I could afford 
  C              F            A#9 
Like a child in wild anticipation 
C            Fdim   C  G7  C 
Long to hear that  "All aboard" 
 
Bridge 
E   F                          Fm 
Seven   that's the time we'd leave 
   A#   C     C6             C    Fdim    D7 
At seven.  I'll be waitin' up for Heaven 
  D            Am7      G         G6   Dm7  G   Cdim Dm7   G 
Countin' ev'ry mile of railroad track that takes me back 
 C 
Never thought my heart could be so yearny 
             Em  G#  G7 
Why did I decide to roam 
  C           F          A#9 
Gotta take a sentimental journey 
  C     Dm7   C Cdim Fdim C   
Sentimental journey home
