Chords

By Chris Knight Written By Chris Knight/Stacy Dean Campbell [Verse 1]
G
The sound of a train not running

         Em          G
Has been keeping me awake

    G
The Westmoreland Mine ain't run much coal

     Em        Cadd9
Since back in '88

G
Got on at the sawmill

                Em             G
But I've got to find a better way

       D
Or the sound of a train not running

         Cadd9     G
Is gonna carry me away
[Chorus]
                   Em
And every time you look at me, Mary

C                  G
I want to tell you someday

                D
We'll leave the sound of a train not running

Cadd9             G
A thousand miles away
[Verse 2]
  G
I don't want to risk my freedom

        Em               G
Growing crops on company land

         G
But it'd be a damned sight better

                 Em           Cadd9
Than a government check in my hand

G
I used to bring home good money

            Em             G
You used to drive a decent car

        D
But now we go to town on Saturday

   Cadd9              G
It seems a little too far
[Chorus]
                   Em
And every time you look at me, Mary

C                  G
I want to tell you someday

                D
We'll leave the sound of a train not running

Cadd9             G
A thousand miles away
[Bridge]
    G
Now some nights when our baby cries

  Em               G
I feel a twinge of fear

         D
When the sound of a train not running

Cadd9               G
Is the only thing I hear
[Chorus]
                   Em
And every time you look at me, Mary

C                  G
I want to tell you someday

                D
We'll leave the sound of a train not running

Cadd9             G
A thousand miles away
[Chorus]
                   Em
And every time you look at me, Mary

C                  G
I want to tell you someday

                D
We'll leave the sound of a train not running

Cadd9             G
A thousand miles away
