 F#-  G#- A#  
[Main Riff]
 A#sus4-  A#- F#maj7  
[Verse 1]
A#Ten coaches roll into the dust
Chrome windows turned to rust
Hang on inside, they know they must
BHanging on the green-backed C#words: "In God we D#trust"
[Verse 2]
A#No one knew if the spirit died
All wrapped to go like Kentucky Fried
Trying to read the flight of birds
BLow on fuel, C#getting low on D#words
[Chorus]
And she Bcomes out like a C#white shaD#mdowC#  
She Bcomes out like a C#white shaD#mdow
[Verse 3]
A#Each one drawn to empty spaces
Outsiders, borderline cases
It's hard to tell black from white
When you Bwake up in the C#middle of the D#night
[Verse 4]
A#Weighed down by the absence of sound
Broken now by the cry of a hound
Looking for movement within the haze
BLight can be deC#ceptive with her D#rays
[Chorus]
And she Bcomes out like a C#white shaD#mdowC#  
And she Bcomes out like a C#white shaD#mdowC#  
She Bcomes out like a C#white shaD#mdow

[Verse 1]

Ten coaches roll into the dust

Chrome windows turned to rust

Hang on inside, they know they must

B C# D#

Hanging on the green-backed words: "In God we trust"

[Verse 2]

No one knew if the spirit died

All wrapped to go like Kentucky Fried

Trying to read the flight of birds

B C# D#

Low on fuel, getting low on words

[Chorus]

B C# D#m C#

And she comes out like a white shadow

B C# D#m

She comes out like a white shadow

[Verse 3]

Each one drawn to empty spaces

Outsiders, borderline cases

It's hard to tell black from white

B C# D#

When you wake up in the middle of the night

[Verse 4]

Weighed down by the absence of sound

Broken now by the cry of a hound

Looking for movement within the haze

B C# D#

Light can be deceptive with her rays

[Chorus]

B C# D#m C#

And she comes out like a white shadow

B C# D#m C#

And she comes out like a white shadow

B C# D#m

She comes out like a white shadow
