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
