D
Full blown silence in an empty room
A
A former bride and a former groom
E
A folding table and a folding chair
A
A folded hand of poker there
D
All new directions must go everywhere
A
Big round people in a cool little square
E
You can't cut it with a boat or a plane
D A
Man it's gonna take a new train
Chorus:
D
You'll be leaving on a new train
A
Far away from this world of pain
E
And when you look out your window you'll see
A
Your home your baby and your family
D
No melted ice cube in a paper cup
A
Hell you'll be happy you'll be all shook up
E
The friends that greet you will be Simple and plain
D A
When you step down from that new train
(Repeat Intro 2x)
D
Collected volumes of history say
A
Man makes mistakes most everyday
E
The half a pound of chopped ground round
A
Is still a burger when it goes downtown
D
No faded photographs of yesterdays
A
Are in the books that I read these days
E
To fly away from that memory town
A
You must keep both your feet on the ground
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Intro)
D
I'll be leaving on a new train
A
Far away from this world of pain
E
The friends that greet me will be Simple and plain
D A
When I step down from that new train
D A D A
New train, new train.
