Verse-
[Fmaj7]Everybody talks about some [Fmaj7/]fateful [G][Fsus2/]day[G]
[Am7]And I guess that this was mine[F]
[Fmaj7]I may be here to [Fmaj9]tell some [Fmaj7]kind of story
[Fmaj7/] [G] [Fsus2/] [G] [Cmaj]
[Fsus2(maj7)/]But I think [C]it's gonna take a little time
(That's all [Cmaj]right)[C][Fsus2(maj7)/]
[Fmaj7]See I'm rockin' in a cradle
Down the hall [Fmaj7/][G]somewhere [Fsus2/]and I [G]am--[G][Fmaj7/]
[Am7]Lost inside a [Fmaj]dream
[Fmaj7]Maybe I am falling
[Fmaj9]Maybe I am [Fmaj7]flying
But I [Fmaj7/]know if I[G] am crying she is[Cmaj]
[Fsus2(maj7)/]Holding [C][Cmaj]me[C][Fsus2(maj7)/]

[Fmaj]And then the sky broke up
[Fmaj]And then the rain came down

[Fmaj]Wash it away
[Fmaj]Wash it away

Chorus-
[Gmaj]Now baby's got that bottle[Gadd11]
Filled up with [Gmaj]lightning and [Gadd11]rain
He keeps [Fmaj7]calling out for someone
But she's [Fmaj-Am7-Gadd11-Cmaj-Fsus2(maj7)/]riding on a train[C]
Riding on the ghost [Cmaj][Fsus2(maj7)/]train[C]
And she keeps on [Fmaj]riding
She's gonna keep on [Cmaj][Fsus2(maj7)/][C]riding[Fsus2(maj7)/C][Cmaj]
Mama keep on [Fmaj]riding
Keep on [Cmaj]riding
Bridge- (I have attempted to tab the "entral melody line" for one guitar.
There are
instruments used during the bridge and you may wish to make your own
arrangements for this
This is what I play when performing this song solo on an acoustic guitar.)
[Fmaj7]Some trains they [Gadd11]leave in the [Gmaj]moming[Gadd11]
[Gmaj]Some leave in the [Fmaj7]afternoon
[Fmaj7]Some trains they [Gmaj]leave here
[Gadd11]Right on [Fmaj7]time
[Gmaj]And some they just leave too [Cmaj][Fsus2(maj7)/]soon[Cmaj][G]
[Fsus2(maj7)/]Way too [G]soon[Cmaj]
Pre-chorus and Chorus-
But I'm gonna keep on...
