Album: Wheels This is the acoustic version with capo on 3rd fret Intro D - D/f# - D/g D/b - D/f# - D/g (2x) D/g Dsus2 D/f# D/g How long is this train son D/b D/f# D/g I heard his fragile voice A D/f# D/g I didn’t want to listen but there really was no choice D D/f# D/g D/b D/f# D/g It seems like it goes on forever and I waited for so long A D/f# D/g Dsus2 The old man’s breath came slow and smelled of whiskey in the dawn A Dsus2 D/b D/f# D/g On a cold November morning in the gentle mist of rain Dsus2 A7sus4 D/b D/f# D/g A (single not to...) There’s just so many reasons that people wait to meet a train D/b - D/f# - D/g [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/d/dan-tyminski/295155.html ] Dsus2 D/f# D/g D/b D/f# D/g And as I waited for my sister to come down the metal stairs A D/f# D/g He told me that his son had not been home in fifteen years Dsus2 D/f# D/g D/b D/f# D/g And I barely seemed to notice the tears behind his face A D/f# D/g Dsus2 But his wishes were no strangers to the people in this place Dsus2 A Dsus2 D/a D/b D/f# D/g The old man stood there waiting for a young man dressed in blue C Bm7 Em D/f# A Asus4 Then he handed him a neatly folded flag and said for you Dsus2 D/f# D/g D/b D/f# D/g He said your son he died a hero in the service of this flag A D/f# D/g The old man took it gently put it in his paper bag Dsus2 D/f# D/g D/b D/f# D/g Then I left him in the rain there but I’d still hear his voice A D/f# D/g Dsus2 I try hard not to listen but there really is no choice A Dsus2 D/b D/f# D/g On a cold November morning in the gentle mist of rain Dsus2 A7sus4 D/b D/f# D/g There’s just so many reasons that people wait to meet a train D/g Dsus2 D/f# D/g How long is this train son D/b D/f# D/g I can hear the pouring rain A D/f# D/g D I’m still reminded of him when I hear a passing train I think this is quite accurate Enjoy :) |
