replace G (3-2-0-0-0-1) with G (3-5-5-4-3-3) sometimes, so that you can then slide your
fingers down two frets for a nice transition into F, depending on how funky you want to get.
I know that you've been feeling tired
I hear your voice is wearing thin
I know you've slept so many places in the past few days
You can't remember just which bed you're in
There's something familiar about this room
Anywhere you go it's just like you've been there before
So if you want to step outside this body and this world
You're going to have to go through a different kind of door
And this train only runs in summertime
The children have been let out of school
You haven't packed the bottoms of your shoes are cracked
But your passport has been kissed be the holy fool
The smiling Crosseyed barefoot dressed in rags
Bend down talking to the crows
He's got no words to tell ya, just some magic beans to sell ya
Plant them and in time the tracks will grow
And this train only runs in summertime
The parents are lying beside the pool
The cup is cracked, it's broken by the tacks
But your passport has been kissed be the holy fool
------>C______G___________F
Are you looking for salvation?
Are you looking from answers from Jesus for dancers
To serve you some warmth on cold nights?
Are you looking for the thing that looks out through your eyes?
For something that wont leave your side?
On this lonely planet where everyones waving goodbye.
I know that youve been working hard
You want the whole world to see how brightly you can glow
But if you just trade everything for that small bag of dried up beans
Its only time until the whistle bloooooooooow!
And this train only runs in sum-mer time!
The only contradiction is the rule
Its moving fast but its not gong to last and an open empty boxcar stares at you
Note: (---) is the little accordian riff that you should play one strum per chord,
if you're using a guitar.
Also... for the actual version
Transpose to the key of F
