I'm gonna take you down to the railway line

I'm gonna take you where your heart won't break you 
        G  
And the water tastes like wine

   F                                            Am 
We won't take money, we won't take the long way 'round 
 
We won't take money, we'll live off the honey 
         G 
When the train goes underground 
   F                                            Am  
We won't take money, we won't take the long way 'round

I'll make thunder, you'll make rain 
G        F                   Am  
We'll go down to the runaway train 
 
Am                                         G 
Clear that track, we're coming on down the line 
F                                          Am 
Clear that track, we're coming on down the line 
 
Clear that track, they won't take us back 
         G 
They can stick it where the sun don't shine

Clear that track, we're coming on down the line 
 
Fmaj7              C  
I'll drive faster, you'll hold tighter 
G              Am 
I'll get wild, you'll get wilder 
Fmaj7              C 
I'll make thunder, you'll make rain
