Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][Bm][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]How long is this [G]train son
I [Bm]heard his [D]fragile [G]voice
[Asus4]I didn't want [D]to listen but there
[G]really was no choice
It seems like [D]it goes on [G]forever
and I've [Bm]waited for so [G]long
The [A]old man's breath came [D]slow
and smelled of [G]whiskey in the [D]dawn

[Verse 2]
On [A]a cold November [D]morning in the
[Bm]gentle [F#m]mis t of ra[D]in[G]
There's [D]just so many [A]reas[Asus4]ons that [A]people[Asus4]
[Em]wait to [F#m]meet a[D] train
[G][A][Asus4][Bm][F#m][D][G]

[Verse 3]
And as I [F#m]waited [D]for my sis[G]ter to come
[Bm]down the [F#m]metal [D]sta[G]irs
[A]He told [Asus4]me that his so[A]n ha[D]d
not been [G]home in fifteen years
And I [D]barely seemed to no[G]tice
the [Bm]tears that find [D]his [G]face
But emo[A]tions were no [D]strangers to the
[G]people in this place
[D][Asus4]

[Verse 4]
[D][A]
The [Bm]old man stood there waiting for
[A]a young man dressed in [G]blue
Then he [C]handed him a [Bm]neatly folded [Em]flag
[G]and said for [A]you[Asus4][A]
He said [F#m]your son [D]he died a [G]hero
in [Bm]the service [F#m]of thi[D]s fla[G]g
The [Asus4]old man took it gentl[D]y
put it [G]in his paper bag
Then I [D]left him in the [G]rain there
but [Bm]I still he[F#m]ar his[G] voice
[A]I try hard not to [D]listen but there
[G]really is no choice
[D][A]

[Verse 5]
[D][A]
[Bm]On a[A] cold November m[D]orning in
[Bm]the gentle mis[F#m]t of r[D]ain[G]
There's [D]just so many [Asus4]reasons that people w[Em]ait
to [F#m]meet a train

[Interlude 1]
[G][Asus4][A][Bm][D][G]

[Verse 6]
[D]How long is this [G]train son
I can [Bm]hear the [F#m]pour i[D]ng r[G]ain
[A]I'm still reminded [D]of him
when I [G]hear a passing train
