train comes through chords and lyrics - EZRA FURMAN

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[A]It's a quiet night on main street
where the poisoned water runs
It'll never be the same street
when the time appointed comes
It's [G]talked about in whispers,
nothing certain, only rumor and [A]clue
But the [Bm]vi olent sheet of silence will b[D]e shattered
when the train comes [A]through

[Verse 2]
We may [A]only be subordinates
but we hear everything
All your closed- door conversations,
we're always listening
We sense [G]frequencies you'd never hear
or think to pay [D]attention [A]to
And we can [Bm]tell what's on its way here
[D]long before the train comes [A]through

[Verse 3]
[A]The real news comes in flashes,
here and there among the noise
Borderland insurgent clashes
with the local army boys
Who think they've [G]got a handle on the territory,
for at least a year [A]or two
It'll [Bm]be too late to get out of the way [D]by the time
the train [A]comes through

[Interlude 1]
[A][Bm][D][A]

[Verse 4]
[A]This city is the bearer of an old
and secret curse
It's not written in your bibles,
it's a verse behind a verse
Only [G]visible to an obsessive detail-
[D]oriented heathen [A]Jew
But it's the hid[Bm]den and unspoken that
will thun[D]der when the train [A]comes through

[Verse 5]
Yes, we [A]labored,
and we built your dwellings here on the hillside
The structures set in stone,
not a chance they could slide
But a [G]great machine can break down sud[D]denly
if someone removes a tiny [A]screw
And the [Bm]solid things will move in all direc
[D]tions when the train [A]comes through

[Verse 6]
They'll [A]tell about your system
as a system with no teeth
The histories will name us as
the people underneath
The [G]emptiness you'd only heard [D]about
was one we intimately [A]knew
But an [Bm]emptiness is turned into a tun
[D]nel when a train [A]comes through

[Verse 7]
[Bm]Oh[D][A]
A transfiguration's coming,
a turning in the song
To the brutal static order they've
depended on so long
This [G]train will carry gamblers,
[D]it'll carry us midnight ramblers too
[A]

[Verse 8]
And a [Bm]broken heart's your ticket [A]so
[D]be ready when the train [A]comes through
A [Bm]broken heart's your [A]ticket so be [D]ready
when the train comes [A]through

[Verse 9]
[A]Ahh

[Outro 1]
Ahh
[A]
