Leif and I are on the train to New York,
Car thirteen ninty - ni - ei - eiiiine.
There's a guy with a quarter in his ear
And I've seen Leif only once in the past two months,
(2)
Whoa
His hair is stickin' up a little in the front
Yeah, he's losing it just a bit
When I get home tonight I'll miss him, in Hampshire, yeah
His glass - es, the way he writes in purple pen
The way his collar falls to the left
Have you seen his ankles late - layyyyyy - ay - ay - ay - e-yeah
I know he's next to me, I feel his sweater here
But when I'm sleepin' its only green sheets
(3)
And the hair down my legs
Think I'll write you Lief, when I'm here Tuesday
Sometime before you go, back on the train
Leif and I are on the train to New York,
Car thirteen ninty - ni - ei - eiiiine.
There's a guy with a quarter in his ear
And I've seen Leif only once in the past two months
His hair is stickin' up a little in the front
Yeah, he's losing it just a bit
When I get home tonight I'll miss him, in Hampshire
His hair is stickin' up a little in the front
Yeah, he's losing it just a bit
When I get home tonight I'll miss him.

You can play this using the open G and C chords as
well, but it sounds like barre chords in the song
to me. Either way just follow this progression:
G

B|--3-3--5--3-3-3-3--5--3-3-3-3--5--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--|

Notes with a "+" under them mean that they are very
staccato (short and not accented) so if you can't
play this piece as fast as Chris, exclude these notes.
Play this piece five times, and then on the sixth time
through, strum the last half of it.
