Runaway Train Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Born like everyone with a slate as clean
Baby grew into a boy
and started building steam
Boy learned how to blow it off
in a dangerous kind of way
Wait up fellas, here he comes,
that runaway train

[Verse 2]
Now I [G]hear his lonesome cry
barrelin' down the track
[D]Out of control, his soul dressed in black
[G]Sound to every man that's
broken the chain
Like [D]rollin', rollin',
rollin' like [A]a runaway t[D]rain

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D]
[G][D][A]
[D]

[Verse 3]
It ain't [D]easy to do your best
when life comes at you fast
On his own so early,
oh too young for such a task
Took the bull by the horn,
sometimes that bull was mean
And only at it stoking on
that runaway train

[Verse 4]
Now I [G]hear his lonesome cry
barrelin' down the track
Out [D]of control, his soul dressed in black
[G]Sound to every man that's
broken the chain
Like [D]rollin', rollin',
rollin' like [A]a runaway train

[Interlude 2]
[D][G][D]
[G][D]
[A][D]

[Verse 5]
[D]Married young, a daddy soon,
his life was right on track
Something rumbled in his soul,
something that he lacked
He had to chase that melody that
fueled a childhood dream
There ain't no holding back
that runaway train

[Verse 6]
Now I [G]hear his lonesome cry
barrelin' down the track
Out [D]of control his soul dressed in black
[G]Sound to every man that's
broken the chain
Like [D]rollin', rollin',
rollin' like [A]a runaway t[D]rain

[Verse 7]
Like [D]rollin', rollin',
rollin' like [A]a runaway t[D]rain
I hear that train a- coming
Hey Porter
Oh Porter

[Outro 1]
Yeah, I don't care if I do- da- do
[D]
