Paul Simon – Train In The Distance
Like so many of Paul Simon's works, the technique of each proves extremely difficult.
I attempted a chorded version of this song after listening to the acoustic demo
available on the Hearts & Bones record.
Hope you enjoy...

Intro: D D9 D6 Dmaj9 D (x2)
Verse One:
D F#m Am/C B7
She was beautiful as Southern skies, the night he met her,
Em A11
she was married to someone...
D F#m Am/C B7
He was doggedly determined that he would get her,
Em D6 G6
she was old, he was young...
D D9 D6 G6 D/F#
From time to time he'd tip his heart, but each time she withdrew,
D F#m Am/C B7
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance,
Em D6 G6 D
Everybody thinks it's true…
Verse Two:
D F#m Am/C B7
Well eventually the boy and the girl get married,
Em A11
Sure enough they have a son...
D F#m Am/C B7
And though they both were occupied, with the child she carried,
Em D6 G6
Disagreements had begun...
D D9 D6 G6 D/F#
And in a while they fell apart, It wasn't hard to do,
D F#m Am/C B7
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance,
Em D6 G6 D
Everybody thinks it's true...
Bridge:
Cmaj9 Bm7 Bb/A7 B11
Two disappointed believers, two people playing the game
G6 D/F# F C Bb (Open)
Negotiations and love songs are often mistaken for one and the same
Verse Three:
D F#m Am/C B7
Now the man and the woman remain in contact,
Em A11
let us say it's for the child...
D F#m Am/C B7
With disagreements about the meaning, of a marriage contract,
Em D6 G6
Conversations hard and wild...
D D9 D6 G6 D/F#
But from time to time, he makes her laugh, she cooks a meal or two
D F#m Am/C B7
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance,
Em D6 G6 D
Everybody thinks it's true...
D F#m Am/C B7
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance,
Em D6 G6 D
Everybody thinks it's true...
Bridge:
Cmaj9 Bm7 Bb/A7 B11
What is the point of this story, what information pertain,
G6 D/F#
The thought that life could be better,
F C Bb (Open)
Is woven indelibly, into our hearts, and our brains...
Outro: D D9 D6 Dmaj9 D (x2)
