[Verse 1]
D G A I boarded the Pullman somewhere east of Council Bluffs D G A I've been riding this train to the west now for so long that I can't remember when G A The clouds are at the winds command D G A great extinction is close at hand D A D But we shall live again
[Chorus]
D G We shall live again D A We shall live again G A Though our religions the same as the pigeons G A From Francis of Assisi D G To the fans of AC/DC D A D We all shall live again
[Verse 2]
D G A The nightingales were seized with a panic D G A As warplanes flew over the green Atlantic G A But the day was fair beyond compare D G And the long parade and the serenade D A D And we shall live again
[Chorus]
D G We shall live again D A We shall live again G G#dim A We'll be painting roses with grandma Moses G A And we'll feel just as free and young D G As those flowers we stand among D A D And we shall live again
[Verse 3]
D G Well this train is like an endless parade A It passes by each and every home in each and every town D G A And the women and the children and the men they hover to the doorways and the windows G A Some hop on board some wave farewell D G Or weep at the beauty of the crossing bell D A D But we all shall live again
[Verse 4]
D G A I been in most of these motels on the edge of reality D G A I even rode my donkey over the mountains of Argentina G A Some die on the steppes of a frozen wasteland D G Some OD on the road to Graceland D A D But we all shall live again
[Chorus]
D G We shall live again D A We shall live again G A I find these truths to be self evident G A In this life where any joyful thing D G Is paid two fold in suffering D A D We shall live again
[Verse 5]
D G A Well the train pressed on under nights crumbling wave D G A Through the dreamlike districts of the vanished days G A A dead man falls from a trotting horse D G The rivers run backward to their ancient source D A D But we all shall live again
[Verse 6]
D G A Well the dinning car is filled mostly with victorian era ghosts D G A And some sharpshooters firing at angels like startled ducks on the horizon G A But you're with me here when I close my eyes D G Giving alms to trembling palms D A Your eyes so green and labyrinthine
[Verse 7]
D G A Remember Hegel, that beautiful son of a bitch D G A Or Marcel Proust, you thought he ruled the roost G A He's drinking a drink that's black as ink D G Watching a candied cherry sink D G A It's like the sorrow of the world distilled
[Chorus]
D G We shall live again D A We shall live again G A All the great nations of the western plains G A There will be no more anguish and no more fear D G And no more bloodshed on the red frontier D A D And we shall live again
[Verse 8]
D G A The wind took my train up into the chasms of the sky D G A And in the air hung a golden trumpet G A Some warn of heaven and its narrow gate D G The baby angels are armed and overweight D G A As they float above the turnstile and sing
[Chorus]
D G You shall live again D A You shall live again G A This world is ours and all the stars G A It's like the icing on the cake of death D G And the only word that rhymes is breath D A D We shall live again
