[ Gadd9 320203]
Capo: 2 fret
[Intro]
Asus4 Dsus4/G Asus4 Dsus4/G Asus4 Dsus4/G Em Asus4 Gadd9 Bm Gadd9 Bm A
[Verse 1]
A
I've seen the Ides of March,
G
And I've seen the fall of Rome,
A
I've seen all kinds of stuff,
G
But I never see my home.
[Verse 2]
Asus4
If my life-line is,
Gadd9
These million miles of track,
Em
One thing I know by now,
Asus4
There is no turning back.
[Chorus]
N.C. G
From a moving train,
Bm
From a moving train,
G
From a moving train,
Bm
From a moving train.
[Verse 3]
Asus4
If every venture was,
G
A path to no avail,
Asus4
I'd still be rolling down,
Dsus4/G
This never ending trail.
[Verse 4]
Asus4 G
If we had a destination,
G
In our sights,
Em
We would be helpless as,
Asus4
We passed it in the night.
[Chorus]
N.C. G
From a moving train, (hear the engine running),
Bm
From a moving train, (you can get on board),
G
From a moving train, (hear the motor humming),
Bm
From a moving train, (see, you've gotta see the light).
[Interlude]
Em D/F# G Asus4
[Bridge]
D/F# G
And if by chance you find a woman,
D/F# G
That you might love along the way,
Em
You better hold her tight,
D/F#
Tell her everything's alright,
Gadd9 Asus4
Or she might jump along the way.
[Chorus]
N.C. G
