 There is a bit of variation towards the end, but it is very simple to play around.
 It will either follow a Am-C pattern or shift to the Dm-F-Am-C pattern like the chorus.
 Lyrics:
Billy  was a train,  driving man
 He went from one side to the other side of town
 He went to bed with the light on
 He went to bed with the light on
 Ride on
 He found his struggle with the wind
 Something we never, came to understand
 He felt lost, in the dark
 Even when there was someone, he felt apart
 Alone
 Alone
 Alone
Cause  in the, dark
 There's  monsters,  they cry alone
They're  waiting
For  you to come along, and  play
For  you to come along, and  play
 He made his way to the liquor store
 couldn't help but notice, the man at the door
 Yeah he did, he caught his eye
 He said sir, please a nickel, before I die
 Alone
 Alone
 Alone
 Cause in the, dark
 There's monsters, they cry alone
 They're waiting
 For you to come along, and play
 For you to come along, and play
 And play
 For you to come along, and play
 And play
 Cause in the, the dark
 There's monsters, they cry alone
 They're waiting
 For you to come along, and play
 Cause were monsters at heart
 At heart, at heart
 There's monsters, in their hearts
 Their hearts
 For you to come along and play
 And play
 For you to come along
 And play
 Billy was a train driving man
 He got lost, some place in the wind
