[INTRO]

[D] - [D/f#] - [D/g]
[D/b] - [D/f#] - [D/g] (2x)

[D/g]

[Dsus2]How long i[D/f#]s this tr[D/g]ain son
I h[D/b]eard his fr[D/f#]agile vo[D/g]ice
I [A]didn't want to listen [D/f#]but there really was [D/g]no choice
[D] [D/f#] [D/g] [D/b] [D/f#] [D]/[G]
It seems like it goes on forever and I waited for so long
The old[A] man's breath came slow and smel[D/f#]led of whiskey in the dawn [D/g] [Dsus2]

On a col[A]d November morning in th[Dsus2]e gentle mist of ra[D/b]in [D/f#] [D/g]
[Dsus2] [A7sus4] [D/b] [D/f#] [D/g] [A] (single not to...)
There's just so many reasons that people wait to meet a train

[D/b] - [D/f#] - [D/g]

[Dsus2] [D/f#] [D/g] [D/b] [D/f#] [D]/[G]
And as I waited for my sister to come down the metal stairs
He tol[A]d me that his son had n[D/f#]ot been home in fifteen [D/g]years
[Dsus2] [D/f#] [D/g] [D/b] [D/f#] [D]/[G]
And I barely seemed to notice the tears behind his face
But his wishe[A]s were no strangers to [D/f#]the people in this pla[D/g]ce [Dsus2]

[Dsus2]

The old[A] man stood there waiting for a [Dsus2]young m[D/a]an dre[D/b]ssed in blue [D/f#] [D/g]
Then he handed[C] him a neatly folded [Bm7]flag and said fo[Em]r you [D/f#] [A] [Asus4]

[Dsus2] [D/f#] [D/g] [D/b] [D/f#] [D]/[G]
He said your son he died a hero in the service of this flag
The old [A]man took it gently put [D/f#]it in his paper[D/g] bag
[Dsus2] [D/f#] [D/g] [D/b] [D/f#] [D]/[G]
Then I left him in the rain there but I'd still hear his voice
I t[A]ry hard not to listen [D/f#]but there re[D/g]ally is no choice [Dsus2]

On a col[A]d November morning in th[Dsus2]e gentle mist of ra[D/b]in [D/f#] [D/g]
There's just[Dsus2] so many reasons [A7sus4]that people wait to meet [D/b]a train [D/f#] [D/g]

[D/g]

[Dsus2]How long i[D/f#]s this [D/g]train son
I can he[D/b]ar the pour[D/f#]ing rain [D/g]
I'm sti[A]ll reminded of him [D/f#]when I hear a passi[D/g]ng train [D]

I think this is quite accurate

Enjoy :)
