Intro:   Em   C   G   Am-  Em   C   G  C  
IG´m getting near my destination
A Cslow train crGawl
LGike a fool i nearly miss the station
CIt´s grown so smGall
Not beGtting on an easy landing
COut of the bDlue
ThGese shuttered houses and a clDock still standing at C196G2
WaGiting for the fEmerry,   D  Ctickets in their Ghand
GoGod people that were neDver out of sight of lAmand
Waiting for the fEmerry,   D  Cticket in their hGand
GGood people that you knDew would never undeAmrstand 
And we´re aCll on bGoard
ItC´s not very far to rGide
Your riCver is not like JoGrdan
We´ll mCeet on the other side
Bridge:  Em   C   G   Am-  Em   C   G  C  
A Gstony church where lovers lingered 
ICn years gone Gby
The hGand of god still points a finger
AcCross the sGky
A stGony road to no salvation
WCho sheads a tDear
I Gthink that both of us were loDoking for a shCortcut out of Ghere
WaGiting for the fEmerry,   D  Ctickets in our hGand
GoGod people that were neDver out of sight of lAmand
Waiting for the fEmerry,   D  Cticket in our hGand
GGood people that you knDew would never undeAmrstand 
CEmould´ve brought you whiskey, could´ve brDought you wine
The oCnly thing i can´t bring is tAmime, time, tDime 
And we´re aCll on bGoard
ItC´s not very far to rGide
Your riCver is not like JoGrdan
We´ll mCeet on the other side
