                         D
Full blown silence in an empty room
                     A
A former bride and a former groom
                      E
A folding table and a folding chair
                 A
A folded hand of poker there
                           D
All new directions must go everywhere
                      A
Big round people in a cool little square
                        E
You can't cut it with a boat or a plane
                      D   A
Man it's gonna take a new train



Chorus:
                       D
You'll be leaving on a new train
                   A
Far away from this world of pain
                           E
And when you look out your window you'll see
                             A
Your home your baby and your family
                        D
No melted ice cube in a paper cup
                               A
Hell you'll be happy you'll be all shook up
                                   E
The friends that greet you will be Simple and plain
                             D   A
When you step down from that new train



(Repeat Intro 2x)



                     D
Collected volumes of history say
                        A
Man makes mistakes most everyday
                    E
The half a pound of chopped ground round
                       A
Is still a burger when it goes downtown
                        D
No faded photographs of yesterdays
                        A  
Are in the books that I read these days
                      E
To fly away from that memory town
                        A
You must keep both your feet on the ground



(Repeat Chorus)



(Repeat Intro)



                     D
I'll be leaving on a new train
                   A
Far away from this world of pain
                                  E
The friends that greet me will be Simple and plain
                           D   A
When I step down from that new train
D   A      D   A
New train, new train.
