to put in the correct chords. Get rid of this other crap version!
A          C/G              D C/G G
I read the colours this morning
I read the colours today
About a man who left from nowhere to be someone
And every day he has to pay in every way

( instr: A C/G D-D7 F C E)

I met a man from New York City
He spoke of things I can't define
A good man driven from his homeland
Trying to find some peace of mind
       A    C/G D   
It's a fast train, it's a fast train
It's a fast train, it's a fast train

(Am7 intro to solo part in E)
       A    G              D
It's a fast train, it's a fast train
It's a fast train, it's a fast train
It's a fast train, it's a fast train
It's a fast train, it's a fast train
It's a fast train
