[Verse 1]
I was [D]standing out back as the [G]sun sank [D]on down.
I was thinking to myself about a
[E]long distant [Asus4]sound,[G]
[A]How the fur[D]y and[F#m] the flame
[D]burned so bri[G]ght
Then blew [D]out and left town on a
[A]slow moving [G]train.[D][Em][D]

[Verse 2]
On a [G]slow moving train,
from the [D]West to the [Dsus4]East ,
[D]With the hop[G]es of a nation
of sal[D]vation [Asus4]and peace,[Bm]
[A]All the [D]people [Am]came out [D]and they
[G]stood by [D]the tracks,
[Bbdim]As the slow m[Bm]oving train [D]took h[A]im back.[C]
[D]It [G]was[A]

[Verse 3]
[D]the end of the road
of a [G]time and [D]a place,
The end of a dream and [E]sweet
[F#m]youth'[E]ssmiling fa[A]ce,
The be[D]ginning of [F#dim]a lesson
[D]we're still [G]learning [D]today,
[G]Since he [Asus4]left on the [A]slow
moving [G]train.[D][G][D][Em]
[D]On that

[Verse 4]
[G]slow moving train,
as he [D]rested in peace,
'Cross the [G]mountains and plains
from the [D]sea to [A]the sea,[G]
[A]All[D] the peo[Am]plecame out,
the [Ab]men [G]took off their h[Asus4]ats,
[Bbdim]As that slow m[Bm]oving train [D]took him back.[C][D][Bm]
[G][D][C][Dsus4][G][D][Bbdim][Bm][D][A]

[Verse 5]
[C][B]
[C#m]I wonder[B] where [E]would we be,[Abdim]
[E]if the [A]bullets had [E]failed,
If the young men with dreams
had [F#]somehow prevailed,
[B]Jus[A]t a[B] shot f[E]rom the darkness and
the [A]whole world was [E]changed,
They [A]sent him [Bsus4]home on
[E]a s[B]low moving t[A]rain.
[E]On [F#m]a[E][F#m][E]

[Verse 6]
[A]slow moving train,
from the [E]West to the East,
With the [A]hopes of a nation of sal
[E]vation [B]and peace,[C#m]
[D#dim]All the peopl[E]e came out a[Bm]nd[F#]
they [A]stood by [E]the tracks,
[Cdim]As the slow [C#m]moving t[Bbdim]rain[B][E]
[G#aug]took him [C#m]back .[C#dim][C#m][Bbdim]

[Verse 7]
He went [E]home on that [B]slow moving
[D]train.
