Get Back on the Train

from Chris Peak

lyrics help from Jonathan Healey

The chords are a little easier if you move them all down a half-step,

but I like the sound of all the flat chords, personally.

Intro (keep repeating until verse):

E-------------------------------------------------------------

B-------------------------------------------------------------

G-------------------------------------------------------------

D-------1-3-3-1-3-1-3-1-3----1-3-3-1-3-1-3-1-3----------------

A----3---------------------3----------------------------------

E-------------------------------------------------------------

F

When I jumped off, I had a bucket full of thoughts

F Bb Ab

When I first jumped off, I held that bucket in my hand

F

Ideas that would take me all around the world

Bb Ab

I stood and watched the smoke behind the mountain curl

Eb Bb F

It took me a long time to get back on the train

(the chord pattern is the same for all the verses)

-=-=-=

Some prefer to play it in E:

E

When I jumped off, I had a bucket full of thoughts

E A,D

When I first jumped off, I held that bucket in my hand

E

Ideas that would take me all around the world

A

I stood and watched the smoke behind the mountain curl

D A E

It took me a long time to get back on the train

Now I'm gone and I'll never look back again

I'm gone and I'll never look back at all

You know I'll never look back again

I turn my face into the howlin' wind

It took me a long time to get back on the train

See my face in the town that's flashing by

See me standing at the station in the rain

See me standing there beside the car

I left it all behind, again I'll travel far

It took me a long time to get back on the train

When I jumped off, I had a bucket full of thoughts

When I first jumped off, I held that bucket in my hand

Ideas that would take me all around the world

I stood and watched the smoke behind the mountains curl

It took me a long time to get back on the train

It took me a long time to get back on the train

It took me a long time to get back on the train
