Train In The Distance chords by Don Henley

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                        E
Swirling in my head, swirling in my head

CHORUS 1:
    E/G#       A
And there's a train in the distance, there?s a whistle calling
           A                            Amaj7             C#m-B-A-B  E
There's a train in the distance, silver moonlight falling

VERSE 3:
E
Now, I am a grown man, turning in my sleep
Debts and obligations, family ties run deep
C#m               E
Promises to keep, promises to keep

CHORUS 2:
    E/G#       A
But there's a train in the distance, there?s a whistle calling
           A                                C#m7
There's a train in the distance, there?s a light rain falling

INSTRUMENTAL:  E      B     E/G#     A | E/G# A     B      E

BRIDGE:
Bm                              E
You can ride that train to the far end of creation
Bm                        E
Away from everything and everyone you know
C#m                                E
You better make friends with your angels and your demons
F#                               A             E/G#                B
They will be riding with you wherever you may go, but, you have to go

CHORUS 3:
               A
But there's a train in the distance, there?s a whistle calling
           A                            C#m7
There's a train in the distance, autumn leaves are falling
