STORNOWAY - BOATS AND TRAINS
I took took these chords from a live video I found on youtube. I think its mostly
ok but I'm pretty sure on the album the A's are Abars as well and I missed a
variation around the F#m, let me know if you have any ideas!

WaEiting for a train
	  	     A       F#mAbar     E  
Going nowhere in a nowhere station
Staying up last night 
                     A          F#mAbar    E  
Going nowhere with my trains of thought
Sleeping with your boy
                 F#mAbar   
Going nowhere in a long distance relation
EBlinded of your senses
By the fF#mear of unrequited love
       F#mAbar   C#m  
Once more I woke up in the moonlight
       F#mAbar                        C#mEbar         C#m  
Once more our paths crossed through the night
                F#mAbar
And a moment's hesitation
             C#mEbar C#m  
Your silent invocation
                      F#mAbar
But you shielded me from your glow
                      C#mEbar C#m  
Like a moth against your window
         F#mAbar            C#mAbar
And I'm too shy to stop you in your tracks
      F#mAbar            E  
Oh you leave me in the dark
Drifting in my Eboat 
                     A     F#mAbar    E  
Going nowhere with my aspirations
You and me connected 
                 A         F#mAbar     E  
Unexpected in our drifting thoughts
But you still see him
                     F#mAbar                 E  
And I am sinking in the storm of separation
Blinded of my senses
By the fF#mear of unrequB7ited love
BRIDGE:
 G#m   C#m   F#mAbar  G#m   C#m   F#mAbar  G#m  C#m  
         F#mAbar           C#mEbar C#m  
Once more I woke up in the moonlight
       F#mAbar                        C#mEbar         C#m  
Twice more our paths crossed through the night
                F#mAbar
And a moment's hesitation
             C#mEbar C#m  
Your silent invocation
                      F#mAbar
But you shielded me from your glow
                      C#mEbar C#m  
Like a moth against your window
         F#mAbar            C#mAbar
And I'm too shy to stop you in your tracks
      F#mAbar             C#mEbar
Oh you leave me in the dark again
         F#mAbar
And I need someone
              C#mAbar
To stop me from drifting
                    F#mAbar        E  
It's getting late to be travelling
Destined to go nowheEre
                 A      F#mAbar  E  
By the fear of unrequited love
