Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
G7  C F

Verse:
F
I sit down on the train
F
With my big pocketbook
  C      G
The guitar and a sugar-free drink
G
I wipe the sweat off of my brow
          C
With the side of my arm
   F          G
And I take off all that I can
               C
I am trying not to have a bad day
   Dm         F    C   F
Now, everybody knows the way that is

Verse:
F
Even though my baggage and I
        C     F
Are using up a two person seat
    G
I'm not trying to be funny
                 C
But the guy who sits down next to me
  F        G
Is even bigger than that
    F           C
We are overflowing out of the seat
  Dm       F            C
And I can't look at him, he doesn't look at me

Chorus:
F
Once you step on
F
You might never get off
     C
Of the commuter train
  F          C
It doesn't go very far away
          F
But just the same
         C   F
It's a trip and a half

Verse:
F
My face is pressed up against the window
           C
And through it I can see
   F
The reflection of the train
 C                 G
I spy on the big guy sitting next to me
   C
He's drinking two beers
  F          G
And reading the New York Post
F            C
Trying not to get in my way
   Dm            F    C   F
Now, everybody knows the kinda day that is

Verse:
N.C.
He is miserable
N.C.
And I am miserable
N.C.
We are miserable
N.C.
Can't we have a party
N.C.
Would he rather have a party
N.C.
After all we have to sit here
N.C.
And he's even drinking a beer
N.C.
I want to ask him what's his name
N.C.
But I can't 'cause I'm so afraid
         C
Of the man on the train

Chorus:
F
Once you step on
F
You might never get off
     C
Of the commuter train
  F          C
It doesn't go very far away
          F
But just the same
         C   F
It's a trip and a half
