Intro: F Dm C F
Verse:
F Am
On a train ride from some place bad
Bb C Am
To some place little better
F Am
In between my youth and manhood
Bb C Am
Was the place I met her
F Am
She was just a skinny brown eyed girl
Bb C C7
With a hunger for tomorrow
F Am
And I was then obese by pain.
Bb C Am C7 C
I had all that I could swallow.
Bb F
Oh, fair haired travelling girl
Bb Dm F
Keep on travelling on
Bb F
Oh, fair haired travelling girl
Dm C Bb F
It's just the seat that you have is wrong
Verse:
F Am
Her eyes were packing passed regrets.
Bb C Am
In her lips there was redemption
F Am
And she mistook my coat for love.
Bb C Am
As she wore it for affection
F Am
And as she took the seat beside me.
Bb C Am
I inhaled all of her laughter
F Am
And she forgot there is a past.
Bb C Am C7 C
And I forgot there is an after.
Bb F
Oh, fair haired travelling girl
Bb Dm F
Keep on travelling on
Bb F
Oh, fair haired travelling girl
Dm C Bb
It's just the seat that you have is wrong
F Dm C F
In a song
Verse:
F Am
On a train ride from some place gone.
Bb C Am
To some place almost certain
F Am
In between my flesh and bone.
Bb C C7
Was the place I met her
F Am
And wrapped up in my coat of shame.
Bb C Am
She laid there sleeping tightly
F Am
And as the train pulled to another stop.
Bb C Am C7 C
I knew that she'd go on without me.
Chorus:
