Intro: G Em C G
G Em
The track ran through my town
C G
I’d hear the train about sunset
G Em
They never stopped back then
C G
And they’re not stopping yet
They’re older than their wisdom
They’re sadder than their tears
They keep moving through the night
And won’t slow down for years
Chorus: x2
Em Em
It’s the rumble of the train
G G
The rumble of the train
But they’ll have to stop one day
Be laid to rest on twisted backs
In the meantime they’ll keep driving
Although someone’s stole the tracks
They rarely check their watches now
They’ve been traveling for so long
They know each place by the pain
That won’t stop till they’re gone
Chorus x2
Bridge:
D C G
With clicks n’ clacks n’ rattles
D C G
It shutters and it shakes
D C G
There’s a long and lonely moan
D C G
As if it’s heart would break
Late at night while I lie sleeping
I heard that high sad whistle
I dreamed I boarded that train
And disappeared over a hill
Chorus x4
