------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[D]She was[F#m] beautifu[Am/C]l as Southern skies, the [B7]night he met her,
[Em]she was married to [A11]someone...
[D]He was [F#m]doggedly [Am/C]determined that he would [B7]get her,
[Em]she was old, he was [D6]young[G6]...
[D]From time to time he'd[D9] tip his heart,[D6] but each time she wit[G6]hdrew[D/F#],
[D]Ever[F#m]ybody loves the[Am/C] sound of a [B7]train in the distance,
[Em]Everybody thinks it's[D6] tru[G6]e? [D]
Verse Two:
[D]Well [F#m]eventually the[Am/C] boy and the girl get [B7]married,
[Em]Sure enough they have a[A11] son...
[D]And though they [F#m]both were[Am/C] occupied, with the [B7]child she carried,
[Em]Disagreements had[D6] begu[G6]n...
[D]And in a while they [D9]fell apart, [D6]It wasn't hard to [G6]do, [D/F#]
[D]Ever[F#m]ybody loves the[Am/C] sound of a [B7]train in the distance,

Negotiations and love songs are often mistaken for one and the same
Verse Three:
[D]Now th[F#m]e man and the[Am/C] woman remain in [B7]contact,
[Em]let us say it's for the [A11]child...
[D]With [F#m]disagreements about the [Am/C]meaning, of a marriage [B7]contract,
[Em]Conversations [D6]hard and [G6]wild...
But from [D]time to time, he[D9] makes her laugh, [D6]she cooks a meal or [G6]two [D/F#]
[D]Ever[F#m]ybody loves the[Am/C] sound of a [B7]train in the distance,
[Em]Everybody thinks it's[D6] tru[G6]e...[D]
[D]Ever[F#m]ybody loves the[Am/C] sound of a [B7]train in the distance,
[Em]Everybody thinks it's[D6] tru[G6]e...[D]
Bridge:
[Cmaj9]What is the point of this[Bm7] story, [Bb/A7]what information [B11]pertain,
[G6]The thought that life could be[D/F#] better,
F C Bb (Open)
Is woven indelibly, into our hearts, and our brains...
