Train in the Distance - Don Henley
INTRO: E MajorE
VERSES 1 & 2:
E MajorE
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# minorC#m E MajorE
Swirling in my head, swirling in my head
CHORUS 1:
E/G# A augmentedA
And there's a train in the distance, there?s a whistle calling
A augmentedA Amaj7Amaj7 C#m-B-A-B E MajorE
There's a train in the distance, silver moonlight falling
VERSE 3:
E MajorE
Now, I am a grown man, turning in my sleep
Debts and obligations, family ties run deep
C# minorC#m E MajorE
Promises to keep, promises to keep
CHORUS 2:
E/G# A augmentedA
But there's a train in the distance, there?s a whistle calling
A augmentedA C#m7C#m7
There's a train in the distance, there?s a light rain falling

BRIDGE:
B minorBm E MajorE
You can ride that train to the far end of creation
B minorBm E MajorE
Away from everything and everyone you know
C# minorC#m E MajorE
You better make friends with your angels and your demons
F#F# A augmentedA E/G# BB
They will be riding with you wherever you may go, but, you have to go
CHORUS 3:
A augmentedA
But there's a train in the distance, there?s a whistle calling
A augmentedA C#m7C#m7
There's a train in the distance, autumn leaves are falling
