VERSE 1

 7  -8 -8   -6  -6   7
To make a chain of fools

 -5  -6b -5 -6b   -6  -6
You need a match-ing pair

 5  -8 -8  -6  -6 -6   7
One hy-po-crit-i-cal fool

-6b -6b -6b   -5   -6b -6  -6
And a crowd that's nev-er there

  7     -8  -8 -6  -6  7   7
There's an-ger in the si-lence

  -5      -6b -6b -6b -5  -5
There's wheels up-on the jail

-5  -8    -8    -6  -6   7
A black train built of bones

-6b -6b -6b  -5  -5
On   a  cop-per rail

(CHORUS)

Verse 2 same as 1
Company conductor
You need the salt of tears
Falling on a ticket
That no one's used in years
Non-commercial native
It's tattooed in your veins
You're living in a blood bank
And riding on this train

 -5  -6  -6    -6    -6  -6 -6   7    7
The spi-rit's free, but you al-ways find

 7   -7  -7    -7   -7  -7  -8  -8
Pas-sen-gers stand and wait in line

 -6   -6 -6  -6  -6    -6  -6   -6  -6   7   7
Some-one in the front and some-one else be-hind

-6b  7   7    7   7  7    7   -7  -7
But pas-sen-gers al-ways wait in line

(CHORUS TO END)

ENJOY!!!
