Burnin' Train

Tom: C

[Intro] C  G  C 
        C  G  C

C
Zero’s my number Time is my hunter
G                                       C
I wanted you to heal me but instead you set me on fire

We were out over the borders I washed you in holy water
G
We whispered our black prayers
         C
And rose up in flames
 
F               C
Take me on your burnin’ train
F               C
Take me on your burnin’ train
 
C
White sun burnin’ Black wings beatin’
  G                                                   C
I ran my fingers ‘cross the hollow of your stomach as you lay breathing

With our shared faith Rising dark and decayed
G                              C
Take me and shake me from this mortal cage

F               C
Take me on your burnin’ train
F               C
Take me on your burnin’ train

F                                       C
Somеthing’s shining in the light ‘neath your breast
    F                     C      G
The thick smell of you on my chest

[Solo] C  G  C

   C
On your bed of thorns

I brought you shining gifts
G                                    C
Wiped the sweat from your brow and I touched your lips

Sheets stained with sweat Outside the endless rain
G                                     C
Darlin’ I’m blessed in your blood and marked by Cain
 
F               C
Take me on your burnin’ train
F               C
Take me on your burnin’ train
F               C           G
Take me on your burnin’ train
