Ghost Train Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]
[B][Em][B][Em][Bm][Em][Bm][Em]

[Verse 1]
Hear [Em]the train
whistle blow rolling down the line
Come to rescue this heart of mine
Hear the rumble and roar of the
moonlight ex[A]press[Em]
Our one last chance at a better
world [A]than this

[Verse 2]
[Em](All aboard)
A better world than this
(All aboard)

[Verse 3]
[Em]Every traveler sat silent as [A]a stone
[?] but [Em]not quite flesh and bone
Yet I [B]would not [Em]be dulled or driven to fright
By a train of the lost souls
in the half [D]light
Then [Am]a voice

[Verse 4]
[F]
From a [Am]hooded [Baug]robe
[Em]Of b[B]lack[Em][B]
Whispered, [D]"Pale to me, here we go
[C]There ain't [D]no
[F#dim]Turn ing [B]back[C]"[B]
[Bm]"All aboard",

[Verse 5]
[A]cri[Em]ed the train guy
Make [A]ready for your [Em]magic
mountain [B]ride
[C]Say goodbye to the world
down be[G]low us
[D]Here's your one- way
ticket to the other [C]side
All [A]aboard, [Em]the ghost trai[G]n
[A]Drop all your tra[Em]ppings at the door
[C]Wave goodbye to the boy in the [G]window
[D]You won't be seeing him anymore
[C]Whoa, oh, whoa, whoa

[Interlude 1]
[C][Em]
[B][Em]
[B][Em]

[Verse 6]
Like [Em]a bat outta hell we shot
into space
While down below in the blue- green glow,
I saw a weeping face
It was the face of a child that
cut me to the bone
And I heard him say, "Don't go [B]away,
a- [Em]papa please come home"

[Verse 7]
[D]Had no clue
[Am]As to who was cryi[Cm]ng
[B]In [Em]the d[B]ark[A][B]
But it [D]hurt so bad
That [C]I certainly had
[F#dim]A change [B]of heart[C][B]

[Verse 8]
"All [A]aboard", [Em]cried the train guy
Make [A]ready for your [Em]magic [A]mountain [Em]ride
[C]Say goodbye to the world
down be[G]low us
[D]Here's your one- way
ticket to the other [C]side
All [A]aboard, [Em]the ghost trai[G]n
[A]Drop all your trappings at [C]the[Em] door
Wave [C]goodbye to the boy in the [G]window
You [D]won't be seeing him
any[C]more

[Verse 9]
[C](All aboard)
Oh no no
(All aboard)
Oh no no, [Em]whoa, [C#dim]whoa[Em]

[Verse 10]
And so I [Em]left off the train,
fell into my skin
Through mountains of Peru
back to the land of the living
To a cottage in the woods into
the arms of a woman
Who held my head to [A]her belly and a- [Em]said,

[Verse 11]
"We're gonna have a son"
[A](We're gonna [Em]have son)
Mmh, we're gonna have [A]son
[Em][Bm][Em]
(We're gonna have son)

[Verse 12]
[Em]All aboard[A][Em]
All aboard
All aboard
The [Em]ghost train
