The Blue Train

Linda Ronstadt


Tom: G

G            Am       C
Watching the long faces
D                        G
Riding this run down the track
        Am       C
And the lost places
       D                            Em
From a dream that never brings them back
        D         C
And the sad truth is
D                        C
Nothing but a cold hard fact
                G
I'm riding the blue train
Am       C            D
Over the miles yet to cover
G            Am         C
A ghost in a hurry to fade
D             G          Am
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
C                D
Afraid you might be there
   Em       D               C
To find me inside this blue train
G            Am          C
Counting the burned bridges
D                    G
Trailing this rusted wreck
        Am      C
As our back pages
D                      Em
Scatter in the dust we left
       D         C
Like a pearl necklace
D                      C
Falling from around my neck
                G
I'm riding the blue train
Am       C            D
Over the miles yet to cover
G            Am         C
A ghost in a hurry to fade
D             G          Am
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
C                D
Afraid you might be there
   Em       D               C
To find me inside this blue train
Am   C            G
Away down the low road
C
A ticket to an empty road
C
A rendezvous unknown

                G
I'm riding the blue train
Am       C            D
Over the miles yet to cover
G            Am         C
A ghost in a hurry to fade
D             G          Am
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
C                D
Afraid you might be there
   Em       D               C
To find me inside this blue train
I'm riding the blue train
Am       C            D
Over the miles yet to cover
G            Am         C
A ghost in a hurry to fade
D             G          Am
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
C                D
Afraid you might be there
   Em       D               C           G
To find me inside this blue train
