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

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 :)
