Patty Griffin - Railroad Wings

INTRO:

He took a silver train

All the way to Maine

On the way to everything

Railroad wings

There's things you don't know you know

I thought anger told me what to do

With emptiness chasing me

D D7 C

On the border, I found you

Should have heard her sing

Railroad wings

This emptiness has followed me

Like a cold blue sky

C G

And it has not been easy for you

There's things I'll never tell you

'Til the day I die

D C

Things I done, I can never undo

Hiding everything

Railroad wings

C G C G C G Em D C

INTERLUDE:

All these years along

The lights are growing dim

I hear you sing your song

In the next room

As far as I can tell

G Em

Most everything means nothing

Except some things

That mean everything
