Chords

I think this is pretty accurate, but feel free to add corrections in the comment. I think there might be some passing chords as well inbetween, but it's playable. The Cadd9 chord should be played like a C with adding your pinky to the B-string at third fret. Intro: F C Am Am7 F C G Gm Am Caug C C7 F G C Cadd9 x7 C Em
Am                   C
 Yearning we were yearning

                G             F
 Green light blinding on the rail

Am                 C
 Burning we were burning

                 G              F     G
 And the line unwinding to the Holy Grail

                  F                 Am
 To the future gleaming on a blue horizon

               F              G
 And a golden girl on golden sand

  Am          C
 Dreaming fantasizing

              G             C      F G
 In another world from Metroland

                 Am                  C
 I've danced in rain and I've been Django

               G
 And I've got laid

                       F
 I've been a rolling stone

           Am
 I've been Verlaine

                 C
 And I've been Rimbaud

       G        F    G
 Not afraid to walk alone

            F                 Am
 And now I take my midnight ramble

               F                 G
 Do I fold or play what's in my hand

             Am                   C
 What's at stake and what's the gamble

       G            C   F G    C   F G
 Do I stay in Metroland

  Am                   C
 Dreams yesterday's laughter

              G                  F
 Ghosts and lovers come back to play

       Am                    C
 But dreams have a morning after

               G            F       G
 And run for cover in the light of day

                  F                 Am
 I got something real worth holding on to

          F               G
 I can belong to and understand

               Am
 I've made my deal

           C    
 I will go on to

           G               C   F G   C  F G
 Make my peace with Metroland
