INTRO: E VERSES 1 & 2:

E
When I was a young boy, roamin’ on the railroad tracks

Put copper pennies on the rails, locomotive come and squash ‘em flat We’d run to fetch ‘em back, we’d run to fetch ‘em back Summer nights at Gran-ma's house, cozy in my bed Dreams of far off places, and other lives to be led

C#m                        E
Swirling in my head, swirling in my head

CHORUS 1:

    E/G#       A                                             
And there's a train in the distance, there’s a whistle calling 

           A                            Amaj7             C#m-B-A-B  E
There's a train in the distance, silver moonlight falling

VERSE 3:

E
Now, I am a grown man, turning in my sleep

Debts and obligations, family ties run deep

C#m               E
Promises to keep, promises to keep

CHORUS 2:

    E/G#       A 
But there's a train in the distance, there’s a whistle calling 

           A                                C#m7                    
There's a train in the distance, there’s a light rain falling

INSTRUMENTAL: E B E/G# A | E/G# A B E BRIDGE:

Bm                              E
You can ride that train to the far end of creation 

Bm                        E
Away from everything and everyone you know 

C#m                                E
You better make friends with your angels and your demons 

F#                               A             E/G#                B
They will be riding with you wherever you may go, but, you have to go

CHORUS 3:

               A 
But there's a train in the distance, there’s a whistle calling 

           A                            C#m7                    
There's a train in the distance, autumn leaves are falling

INSTRUMENTAL ENDING: C#m7
