CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO:  C    Am(3x)  C  
You had a busy day todayAm  
You got a long night aheadC  
Too much upon your plateAm  
Too many dreams patiently wait
As you Fcrawl through your Glife
FWatching the Ctime roll Gby
A Bbsuitcase Ffull of Gempty Fdreams
ESits on a train that never leavesAm  
CHORUS:
And you cry, Fhow far to CSan FranGcisco
FWhen do we Cwalk in GMemphis
FWhen do we Cride the Gtrain
All the Fway across the Gstate of CTexas
INTERLUDE:   Am    C    Am  C  
Where d'you think you wanna be?
A Amticket for anywhere, one way pleaseC  
How long are you prepared to wait
BeAmfore you jump that rolling freight
And it Ftakes you in your dGreams
And your Fheart that's bursting Cat the Gseams
The Bbold train Fwhistle Gcries for Fyou
EYou're too late, once again it's passed on Amthrough
CHORUS:
And you cry, Fhow far to CSan FranGcisco
FWhen do we Cwalk in GMemphis
FWhen do we Cride the Gtrain
All the Fway across the Gstate of CTexasF  
BRIDGE:
You spend your Glife
In an Cold leather office Fchair
That's been Gpassed down
From the last guy
Who Fnever made it GanyCwhere
INTERLUDE:   Am    C    Am  C  
What'll you do when you find that place
The Amsun shine's heavy and the rain falls lessC  
Will you miss the life that was
AmDead-end streets and dead-end jobs
Or will you Fsee another Gdream
That Fonly Cdreamers Gsee
You Bbwait for aFnother Grolling Ffreight 
That Enever comes and it just lets you know who you Amare
CHORUS:
And you cry, Fhow far to CSan FranGcisco
FWhen do we Cwalk in GMemphis
FWhen do we Cride the Gtrain
All the Fway across the Gstate of CTexas
