John Prine – New Train (Guitar)

                         D
Full blown silence in an empty room

                     A
A former bride and a former groom

                       E
A folding table and a folding chair

                  A
A folded hand of poker there

                            D
All new directions must go everywhere

                       A
Big round people in a cool little square

                        E
You can't cut it with a boat or a plane

                      D    A
Man it's gonna take a new train

                       D
You'll be leaving on a new train

                   A
Far away from this world of pain

                           E
And when you look out your window you'll see

                               A
Your home, your baby, and your family

                         D
No melted ice cubes in a paper cup

                                 A
Hell, you'll be happy, you'll be all shook up

                                   E
The friends that greet you will be simple and plain

                             D   A
When you step down from that new train

                     D
Collected volumes of history say

                        A
Man makes mistakes most every day

                    E
The half a pound of chopped ground round

                          A
Is still a burger when it goes downtown

                        D
No faded photographs of yesterdays

                        A
Are in the books that I read these days

                      E
To fly away from that memory town

                        A
You must keep both your feet on the ground

                           D
Cuz you'll be leaving on a new train

                   A
Far away from this world of pain

                           E
And when you look out your window you'll see

                               A
Your home, your baby, and your family

                         D
No melted ice cubes in a paper cup

                                 A
Hell, you'll be happy, you'll be all shook up

                                   E
The friends that greet you will be simple and plain

                             D   A
When you step down from that new train

                     D
I'll be leaving on a new train

                   A
Far away from this world of pain

                                  E
The friends that greet me will be simple and plain

                           D   A
When I step down from that new train

D   A
New train

D   A
