Eliza Gilkyson - He'll Miss This Train
[Intro]
Em
[Verse]
EmHe started in the morning, arrived just in time
Met some Dfriends at the station, for to ride the narrow Emline
Took a seat in the diner, made small talk with them all
Took a Ddrink from the waiter, heard the last conductor Emcall
He Gseen the long dress of a woman on his right
She was Dreading from the bible, she was Embasking in the light
For a moment he thought he'd hear the words she couldn't keep inside
He looked in Dvain all around him, but there was no place to Emhide
[Chorus]
Gotta miss this Amtrain
Running from behind, he'll miss this Emtrain
Running out of time, he'll miss this Dtrain
Walking down the line, he'll miss this EmtrainB  Em  
[Verse]
EmShe said, "All my friends are millionaires", and her lips were small and thin
And she Dheld him with these words as her eyes began to Emspin
"My lover is an angel, each day we give our praise
To the Dglory of his goodness and the richness of our Emdays"
"But Gyou will never know him, unless you ride this train
That Dseeks the pure and righteous for the Emglory of his name"
And with this she clasped an amulet that hung above her breast
And she Dfelt a tiny glory as the train continued Emwest
[Chorus]
Gotta miss this Amtrain
Running from behind, he'll miss this Emtrain
Running out of time, he'll miss this Dtrain
Walking down the line, he'll miss this EmtrainB  Em  
[Verse]
EmHe became distracted, to the window he turned his eyes
To the Ddesert all around him and the blue that filled its Emskies
Cactus with its arms arose to pull him away
There were Dstones that shine like jewels, flying birds of Emprey
GNothing ever called to him as the sun was burning bright
And Dall the desert creatures were Emhiding from the light
And the woman safely sleeping, with her book she'd made a nest
And he Dknew he'd have to leave there or his heart would never Emrest
[Chorus]
Gotta miss this Amtrain
Running from behind, he'll miss this Emtrain
Running out of time, he'll miss this Dtrain
Walking down the line, he'll miss this EmtrainB  Em  
[Verse]
EmHe jumped out the window, the sun was burning red
And Dall he saw was desert and the bones of its Emdead
He reached out to touch them and to lift them from the sand
They Dlooked like angels, when he held them in his Emhand
All at Gonce he tried to board again, barbed wire cut his feet
But Dall he saw was empty track and the Emrising of the heat
So he ran for a hundred miles until he came to a mountain town
Where he was Dtold by a conductor that he best just turn aEmround
[Chorus]
Gotta miss this Amtrain
Running from behind, he'll miss this Emtrain
Running out of time, he'll miss this Dtrain
Many walking down the line, he'll miss this EmtrainB  Em  
[Outro]
Am    Em    D    Em B Em  Am    Em    D    Em B Em  Am    Em    D

Eliza Gilkyson - He'll Miss This Train

[Intro]

[Verse]

He started in the morning, arrived just in time

D Em

Met some friends at the station, for to ride the narrow line

Took a seat in the diner, made small talk with them all

D Em

Took a drink from the waiter, heard the last conductor call

He seen the long dress of a woman on his right

D Em

She was reading from the bible, she was basking in the light

For a moment he thought he'd hear the words she couldn't keep inside

D Em

He looked in vain all around him, but there was no place to hide

[Chorus]

Gotta miss this train

Running from behind, he'll miss this train

Running out of time, he'll miss this train

Em B Em

Walking down the line, he'll miss this train

[Verse]

She said, "All my friends are millionaires", and her lips were small and thin

D Em

And she held him with these words as her eyes began to spin

"My lover is an angel, each day we give our praise

D Em

To the glory of his goodness and the richness of our days"

"But you will never know him, unless you ride this train

D Em

That seeks the pure and righteous for the glory of his name"

And with this she clasped an amulet that hung above her breast

D Em

And she felt a tiny glory as the train continued west

[Chorus]

Gotta miss this train

Running from behind, he'll miss this train

Running out of time, he'll miss this train

Em B Em

Walking down the line, he'll miss this train

[Verse]

He became distracted, to the window he turned his eyes

D Em

To the desert all around him and the blue that filled its skies

Cactus with its arms arose to pull him away

D Em

There were stones that shine like jewels, flying birds of prey

Nothing ever called to him as the sun was burning bright

D Em

And all the desert creatures were hiding from the light

And the woman safely sleeping, with her book she'd made a nest

D Em

And he knew he'd have to leave there or his heart would never rest

[Chorus]

Gotta miss this train

Running from behind, he'll miss this train

Running out of time, he'll miss this train

Em B Em

Walking down the line, he'll miss this train

[Verse]

He jumped out the window, the sun was burning red

D Em

And all he saw was desert and the bones of its dead

He reached out to touch them and to lift them from the sand

D Em

They looked like angels, when he held them in his hand

All at once he tried to board again, barbed wire cut his feet

D Em

But all he saw was empty track and the rising of the heat

So he ran for a hundred miles until he came to a mountain town

D Em

Where he was told by a conductor that he best just turn around

[Chorus]

Gotta miss this train

Running from behind, he'll miss this train

Running out of time, he'll miss this train

Em B Em

Many walking down the line, he'll miss this train

[Outro]
