The Mercy Of The Wheels chords

CAPO: 2nd Fret

INTRO: [C] [Am] [Dm] [C] [F] [G] [C]

~ ~ [Am]
I heard a train calling

Through the middle of the night
I heard the [Dm]whistle
And the [C]mercy of the [F]wheels [G]

It's a [C]hand to mouth existence
~ ~ [Am]
In a mouth to nothing world
I was [Dm]longing
For the [C]way I used to f[F]eel [G] [F]

~ ~ [G]
I'd like to catch a train
[C] ~ ~ [F]
That could go back in time
That could [Dm]make a lot of [C]stops
Along the [F]way [G]

[F] ~ ~ [G]
I would go to see my father
[C] ~ ~ [F]
With the eyes he left behind
I would [Dm]go for all the [C]words
I'd like to [F]say [G]

[F] ~ ~ [G]
And I'd take along a sandwich
[C] ~ ~ [F]
And a picture of my girl
And [Dm]show them all
That [F]I made out o[C]kay [G] [C]

~ ~ [Am]
I heard a train calling

Through the middle of the night
And I [Dm]wondered
If I [F]should have gotten o[C]n [G]

[C] ~ ~ [Am]
A train knows where it's going

And when it's time to go
And [Dm]that it looks best
When [F]it's already [C]gone [G] [C]

~ ~ [Am]
I heard a train calling

Through the middle of a dream
And I [Dm]wandered through the [F]weeds
As it went [C]by [G]

[C] ~ ~ [Am]
Oh, the trains they have the numbers

The nicknames and the nights
They [Dm]know it's okay
To [F]run away and [C]cry [G] [F]

~ ~ [G]
I'd like to catch a train
[C] ~ ~ [F]
That could go back in time
That could [Dm]make a lot of [C]stops
Along the [F]way [G]

[F] ~ ~ [G]
I would go to see my father
[C] ~ ~ [F]
With the eyes he left behind
I would [Dm]go for all the [C]words
I'd like to [F]say [G]

[F] ~ ~ [G]
And I'd take along a sandwich
[C] ~ ~ [F]
And a picture of my girl
And [Dm]show them all
That [F]I made out o[C]kay [G] [C]

~ ~ [Am]
I heard a train calling

Through the middle of the night
I heard the [Dm]whistle
And the [F]mercy of the [C]wheels [G] [C]
