[Verse 1]
Dm
I took the cannonball down to the ocean
Across the desert from sea to shining sea
I rode a ladder that climbs across the nation
C/G
Fifty million feet of earth between the buried and me
[Chorus]
Fmaj9 Em7 Fmaj9
"How do you do?"
C/G Fmaj9 Em7 Fmaj9
She said, "Hey, how do you do?"
[Verse 2]
Dm
She buys a ticket cause it's cold where she comes from
She climbs aboard because she's scared of getting older in the snow
Love is a ghost train rumbling through the darkness
C/G
Hold on to me darling I've got nowhere else to go
[Chorus]
Fmaj9 Em7 Fmaj9
"How do you do?"
C/G Fmaj9 Em7 Fmaj9
She said, "Hey, how do you do?" hey...

[Verse 3]
Dm
I took the cannonball down to the ocean
Watched the diesel disappear beneath the tumbling waves
Love is a ghost train howling on the radio
C/G
"Remember everything." she said, "when only memories remain."
[Chorus]
