It Was A Train(Chords)

	        Intro: Am Em Am 


Verse 1:
Am                   Em 
I climbed aboard the ugliest of beasts 
                                     E 
I felt the earth give way beneath my feet 
           Am 
I'd still be crawlin' across the ground 
         Dm 
Belching fire and ash and sound 
       Am                      E     Am 
With a roar so loud it made my ears bleed 



         F                       C 
It was a train that led me from all I knew 
                              G     G# 
And taught me the ways of the wind 
         C                          F           C 
From the windows of a train I saw my youth pass by 
         G                           Am 
Now this train's gonna take me home again

Verse 2:
 
Am                             Em 
I saw the dust clouds swirling at my feet 
                                         E 
Heard steel clacking and clanging in the heat 
             Am 
Then a filthy churning cloud 
          Dm 
Blacked out the sun for 20 miles 
     Am                      E           Am 
As we rode off to the sound of boxcar creaks 



         F                       C 
It was a train that led me from all I knew 
                              G     G# 
And taught me the ways of the wind 
         C                          F           C 
From the windows of a train I saw my youth pass by 
         G                           Am 
Now this train's gonna take me home again

Verse 3:
Am                          Em 
I tasted filthy lies upon my lips 
                             E 
I felt the hateful scorn of hypocrites 
            Am 
I choked and gasped for air 
        Dm 
With black soot matted in my hair 
    Am                             E     Am 
And clutched the door with tar-stained fingertips 


 
         F                       C 
It was a train that led me from all I knew 
                              G     G# 
And taught me the ways of the wind 
         C                          F           C 
From the windows of a train I saw my youth pass by 
         G                           Am 
Now this train's gonna take me home again
