Train In The Distance

Eb         Bb/D         Bbm/Db
   She was beautiful as Southern skies

C7
  The night he met her

Fm7                        Bb9
    She was married to someone

Eb        Bb/D       Bbm/Db                 C
   He was doggedly determined that he would get her

Fm7                    Ab/Eb Eb
    He was old, he was young

                        Db/Eb
 From time to time he'd tip his heart

Ab/Eb                       Ab   Ebmaj7/G
      But each time she withdrew

[Chorus]

Eb                     Db/Eb
   Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance

Ab/Eb                       Ebm7
      Everybody thinks it's true

Eb                     Db/Eb
   Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance

Ab/Eb                       Ebm7  Eb  Db/Eb  Ab/Eb  Ebm7
      Everybody thinks it's true



[Verse 2]

Eb       Bb/D          Bbm/Db      C7
   Well eventually the boy and the girl get married

Fm7                         Bb9
    Sure enough they have a son

Eb                 Bb/D          Bbm/Db                  C
   And though they both were occupied with the child she carried

Fm7                     Ab/Eb Eb
    Disagreements had begun

                     Db/Eb
 And in a while they       fell apart

Ab/Eb                   Ab  Ebmaj7/G
      It wasn't hard to do

[Chorus]

Eb                     Db/Eb
   Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance

Ab/Eb                       Ebm7
      Everybody thinks it's true

Eb                     Db/Eb
   Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance

Ab/Eb                       Eb
      Everybody thinks it's true


[Bridge]

Dbmaj9                    Cm7
       Two disappointed believers

Bdim                        Cm7/Bb
     Two people playing the game

Ab                  Eb/G
   Negotiations and love songs

    Gb       Db/F      Cb             Bb11
Are often mistaken for    one and the same

[Verse 3]

Eb         Bb/D        Bbm/Db  C7
   Now the man and the woman remain in contact

Fm7                         Bb9
    Let us say it's for the child

Eb          Bb/D                Bbm/Db
   With disagreements about the meaning

              C
Of a marriage contract

Fm7                        Ab/Eb Eb
    Conversations hard and wild


But from time to time

   Db/Eb
He makes her laugh

Ab/Eb                     Ab  Ebmaj7/G
      She cooks a meal or two

[Chorus]

Eb                     Db/Eb
   Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance

Ab/Eb                       Ebm7
      Everybody thinks it's true

Eb                     Db/Eb
   Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance

Ab/Eb                       Eb
      Everybody thinks it's true

[Verse 4]

Dbmaj9                           Cm7
       What is the point of this story

Bdim                     Cm7/Bb
     What information pertains

Ab                                Eb/G
   The thought that life could be better

   Gb      Db/F
Is woven indelibly

Cb          Bb11      Bb11         Eb     Db/Eb
   Into our hearts         and our brains

Ab/Eb         Ebm7
      (Like a train in the distance)
