Graniteville

Bb - F - Cm - Eb

       Bb
Just a boxcar flower used to follow your daddy
 Gm
another fader-in from Cincinatti
Eb                                                 Bb
You were always watching, watching the trains roll by

Bb
Yeah, you know I love you, everything you carry
 Gm
Another redeye, Mobile, Albany
Eb                                                Bb
You were always watching, watching the train roll by

             Bb
So, tell me, what's going on in Graniteville
        F
Catch a whole town underneath a sleeping pill
       Cm
It's a quiet little city that grew up together
          Eb
with your picture looking out your grandmother's window

          Bb
There's a black train rolling through the middle of the night
F
Finds us here, well there's nowhere to hide
      Cm
If we ever wake up in Graniteville
        Eb
Oh, you know how much I love you and I always will

Bb - F - Cm - Eb

Bb
Trying so hard just to get away
     Gm
some people want to die in a quiet place
           Eb                                               Bb
where everybody's always watching, watching the trains roll by

          Bb
Yeah, you have a place to go when it's never enough
       Gm
Little hard to pay the toll, train's in a rush
       Eb                                             Bb
out of town, it's always leaving, waving the girl goodbye, goodbye

          F
Yeah, but every town is small when it comes to you
          Gm
Just like everyone's asleep when it's passing through
    Eb                                    Bb
All night I heard the scream of a million tongues

   Bb (held)
So wake up, pretty baby, turn the light on
  Gm (held)
tonight there's something different, something gone wrong
           Eb                    Bb
We've been sleeping too long, so long

             Bb
So, tell me, what's going on in Graniteville
        F
Catch a whole town underneath a sleeping pill
       Cm
It's a quiet little city that grew up together
          Eb
with your picture looking out your grandmother's window

          Bb
There's a black train rolling through the middle of the night
F
Finds us here, well there's nowhere to hide
      Cm
If we ever wake up in Graniteville
        Eb
Oh, you know how much I love you and I always will

Bb - F - Cm - Eb

Bb                       F
Wake up, baby, there's a train a'comin'
Cm                 Eb
Don't you leave me or forsake me
Bb                       F
Wake up, baby, there's a train a'comin'
Cm                 Eb
Don't you know how much I love you?

Bb                 F
Wake up, baby, and hear the screeching
Cm                  Eb
whole town drifting off to dreamin'
Bb                       F
Wake up, baby, there's a train a'comin'
Cm                Eb
Winter's leaving, Spring has sprung in

Bb             F
Wake up, baby, hear the screaming
Cm                    Eb
Whole town dies while it's still sleeping
Bb                       F  (ritard)
Wake up, baby, there's a train a'comin'
Cm                Eb     Eb (held)
Don't forget, you know I love you.
