Train in the Distance Don Henley
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]Swirling in my head, swirli[E]ng in my head
CHORUS 1:
And [E/G#]there's a t[A]rain in the distance, there's a whistle calling
There's a t[A]rain in the distance, silver [Amaj7]moonlight falling [C#m-B-A-B] [E]
VERSE 3:
[E]Now, I am a grown man, turning in my sleep
Debts and obligations, family ties run deep
[C#m]Promises to keep, [E]promises to keep
CHORUS 2:
But [E/G#]there's a t[A]rain in the distance, there's a whistle calling
There's a t[A]rain in the distance, there's a l[C#m7]ight rain falling
INSTRUMENTAL: E B E/G# A | E/G# A B E
BRIDGE:
[Bm]You can ride that train to the f[E]ar end of creation
[Bm]Away from everything and e[E]veryone you know
[C#m]You better make friends with your a[E]ngels and your demons
[F#]They will be riding with you wher[A]ever you may g[E/G#]o, but, you have to [B]go
CHORUS 3:
But there's a t[A]rain in the distance, there's a whistle calling
There's a t[A]rain in the distance, autumn [C#m7]leaves are falling
INSTRUMENTAL ENDING: C#m7
