The Blue Train - Linda Ronstadt
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
SOLO
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

Afraid you might be there
