Eliza Gilkyson - He'll Miss This Train


INTRO: E minorEm


He started in the morning, arrived just in time
     D MajorD                       E minorEm
Met some friends at the station, for to ride the narrow line

Took a seat in the diner, made small talk with them all
    D MajorD                        E minorEm
Took a drink from the waiter, heard the last conductor call


  G+G
He seen the long dress of a woman on his right
    D MajorD                E minorEm
She was reading from the bible, she was basking in the light

For a moment he thought he'd hear the words she couldn't keep inside
       D MajorD                       E minorEm
He looked in vain all around him, but there was no place to hide

CHORUS:
        A minorAm
Gotta miss this train
                       E minorEm
Running on something behind, he'll miss this train
                   D MajorD
Running out of time, he'll miss this train
                    E minorEm   BB E minorEm
Walking down the line, he'll miss this train


She said, "All my friends are millionaires", and her lips were small and thin
    D MajorD                       E minorEm
And she held him with these words as her eyes began to spin

"My lover is an angel, each day we give our praise
    D MajorD                       E minorEm
To the glory of his goodness and the richness of our days"


   G+G
"But you will never know him, unless you ride this train
   D MajorD                  E minorEm
That seeks the pure and righteous for the glory of his name"

And with this she clasped an amulet that hung above her breast
    D MajorD                    E minorEm
And she felt a tiny glory as the train continued west

CHORUS:
        A minorAm
Gotta miss this train
                       E minorEm
Running on something behind, he'll miss this train
                   D MajorD
Running out of time, he'll miss this train
                    E minorEm   BB E minorEm
Walking down the line, he'll miss this train


He became distracted, to the window he turned his eyes
    D MajorD                         E minorEm
To the desert all around him and the blue that filled its skies

Cactus with its arms arose to pull him away
      D MajorD                       E minorEm
There were stones that shine like jewels, flying birds of prey


G+G
Nothing ever called to him as the sun was burning bright
  D MajorD               E minorEm
And all the desert creatures were hiding from the light

And the woman safely sleeping, with her book she'd made a nest
    D MajorD                           E minorEm
And he knew he'd have to leave there or his heart would never rest


CHORUS:
        A minorAm
Gotta miss this train
                       E minorEm
Running on something behind, he'll miss this train
                   D MajorD
Running out of time, he'll miss this train
                    E minorEm   BB E minorEm
Walking down the line, he'll miss this train


He jumped out the window, the sun was burning red
  D MajorD                     E minorEm
And all he saw was desert and the bones of its dead

He reached out to touch them and to lift them from the sand
   D MajorD                      E minorEm
They looked like angels, and he held them in his hand


    G+G
All at once he tried to board again, barbed wire cut his feet
  D MajorD                 E minorEm
But all he saw was empty track and the rising of the heat

So he ran for a hundred miles until he came to a mountain town
       D MajorD                      E minorEm
Where he was told by a conductor that he best just turn around


CHORUS:
        A minorAm
Gotta miss this train
                       E minorEm
Running on something behind, he'll miss this train
                   D MajorD
Running out of time, he'll miss this train
                      E minorEm   BB E minorEm
Many walking down the line, he'll miss this train
