Trains and boats and planes are passing by. 
A5   A5 A5  D5   D5  D5 D5     D5 
They mean a trip  to   Paris or Rome 
    A5  E5   A5         D5     A5 
For some - one else, but not for me. 
    A5   A5  A5   F#5  E5   F#5 
The trains and the boats and planes 
B5 E5 B5  F#5 B5  E5  B5  F#5 
Took you   a -  way,  a  - way  from  me.

We were so in love, and high above 
A5 A5 A5  D5  D5  D5     D5  D5 
We had  a star  to  wish upon wish 
    A5   E5   A5        D5      A5 
And dreams come true, but not for me 
    A5   A5  A5   F#5  E5   F#5

You        are from another part of the world, 
D5        B5        F#5 
You had to  go  back a while and then 
D5          B5         F#5 
You said you soon would return again. 
    D5      B5          B5 
I'm waiting here like I promised to.  
    D5       B5      E5  E5  E5 
I'm waiting here but where are you? 
 
 
 A5          D5        A5          D5    A5 
Trains and boats and planes took you a-way, 
A5  A5 A5  D5  D5  D5      D5  D5 
But ev' ry time I    see them I pray 
  A5   E5  A5         D5        A5 
And  if  my prayer can cross the sea, 
    A5   A5  A5   F#5   E5   F#5 
The trains and the boats and planes 
B5  E5  B5  F#5 B5  E5  B5  F#5 
Will bring  you  back, back home  to    me.

B5  E5  B5  F#5 B5  E5  B5  F#5 
Will bring  you  back, back home  to    me.
