Born On The Train chords by The Magnetic Fields

Chords with lyrics

BORN ON A augmentedA TRAIN
Written by Stephin Merritt. Released on The Charm of the Highway Strip, the third studio album
by The Magnetic Fields. April 18, 1994

This is the key that the song is played by Arcade Fire during their live performance on the
KCRW program Morning Becomes Eclectic. It's a nice and easy way to learn the song, if
you're a beginner like me. They actually sang the lyrics out of order. So I fixed that.
This is my first tab submission. I welcome any feedback or comments :)


  D MajorD      G+G      A augmentedA
Some roads are only seen at night

   D MajorD    G+G         A augmentedA
Ghost roads -- nothing but neon signs.

  D MajorD        G+G       A augmentedA
But some nights the neon gas gets free

  D MajorD     G+G         A augmentedA
and turns into walking dead like me

Chorus:
  G+G        A augmentedA     D MajorD        G+G
And I've been making promises I know I'll never keep

G+G      A augmentedA       D MajorD         G+G
One of these days I'm gonna leave you in your sleep

G+G            A augmentedA         D MajorD        G+G
I'll have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name

G+G      A augmentedA     D MajorD
Baby, I was born on a train.


    D MajorD     G+G       A augmentedA
Well I know that you were never young

   D MajorD     G+G        A augmentedA
And I know you probably won't get old

  D MajorD          G+G    A augmentedA
But honey nobody's gonna hurt you anymore

  D MajorD         G+G        A augmentedA
And nobody's going to make you want to die

Chorus:
  G+G        A augmentedA     D MajorD        G+G
And I've been making promises I know I'll never keep

G+G      A augmentedA       D MajorD         G+G
One of these days I'm gonna leave you in your sleep

G+G            A augmentedA         D MajorD        G+G
I'll have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name

G+G      A augmentedA     D MajorD
Baby, I was born on a train.


  D MajorD    G+G       A augmentedA
I'll go some cold and grey morning,

    D MajorD   G+G    A augmentedA
and you won't remember anything

  D MajorD      G+G        A augmentedA
But some people don't believe in dying,

  D MajorD     G+G        A augmentedA
and some of us don't believe in life


Chorus:
  G+G        A augmentedA     D MajorD        G+G
And I've been making promises I know I'll never keep

G+G      A augmentedA       D MajorD         G+G
One of these days I'm gonna leave you in your sleep

G+G            A augmentedA         D MajorD        G+G
I'll have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name

G+G      A augmentedA     D MajorD
Baby, I was born on a train.

G+G      A augmentedA     D MajorD
