Train Song

MAIN THEME:

All the way home we felt we had a chance

A

To review the coulds before we were born

D <main theme>

And to invite a new game of can'ts

Absorbed in the clouds a voice from afar said

A

"With the right device you can make a pattern grow

D <main theme>

Or you can tune up your car"

So we stayed on the train admiring the time

A

As the lights of the city drew near

D <main theme>

And we drank a little wine

They were blurry and green outer space in between

A

With a depth and a form (and a form) unclear

D <main theme x2>

Then we saw it up ahead

2nd THEME:

C9 G/B

A flickering lantern lit up on the tracks

Bb6? Am7 G <aka main theme x2>

In the rocks that had covered up the bridge

D G/D

From the banks of a river to the bed

Am/D G/D D Dsus4 D

Of the valley upstream to the place we live

PIANO SOLO…sort of: Main Theme 3x > A > D > Main Theme 2x (just like 1st verses)

C9 G/B

The glass on the lantern cast back the sight

Bb6 Am7 G <aka main theme x2>

Of a drive-in movie we drove by below

D G/D

We saw where we'd been in the pictures within

Am/D G/D D Dsus4 D (no pause here)

Projecting all the places we would go

C9 G/B

So we follow the scene and flowed up your steps

Bb6 Am7 G <aka main theme x2>

To a smoooooth wooden floor in a trance

D G/D

The train whistle melody wove through the trees

Am/D G/D D Dsus4 D

And in through the door to signal the turns of a dance

NOTE: End theme is faster and bit more off time than original!
