Ghost Train Chords

(ver. 1)
Gino Vannelli
intro on Em6    

         Em6
Hear the train whistle blow, rollin down the line

Come to rescue this heart of mine
         Em6/9
Hear the rumble and the roar of the Monnlight Express

One last chance at abetter world than this
     A7/E
All aboard   All aboard

      Em6
Every traveller sat silent as a stone

A lot like but not flesh and bone
      Em6/9
But I would not be dogged or driven to fright

By a trainload of lost souls in the half-light
D9              B7+5-9            B7+5+9
    Then a voice    from a hooded robe in

            D9/A              C#7 C7           C6        B7     C6  B7
Whispered "pilgrim, here we go,       ain't no   turnin' back"

      Aadd9            Em7
All aboard! cried the train guard
     Aadd9                        Em7
Make ready for you magic mountain ride
         C                     Cmaj7     G
Wave goodbye   to   the  world       be low us
            Dadd9
Here's your one way ticket to the other

Wave goodbye to the boy in the window

       Em6
Like a bat out o' hell we shut into space
     A/E
When down belowin the blue-greel glow
  Em7
I saw a weeping face
          Em6
T'was the face of a child that cut me to the bone
       Em7
When I heard them say

"Don't go away, Papa please come home"
D9                     B7+5-9  B7+5+9
     Had no clue as to who was driving in the

But it hurt so bad
  C7               B7        C6     B7
I suddenly had a change of heart

      Aadd9            Em7

      N.C. ( vocals suggest Em6 )
So I leapt off ther train, fell into my skin

From the mountain of Peru back to the land of the livin
     Em7
To a cottage in the woods

INto the arms of a woman
    Em6
Who held my head to her belly and said
      Em7
We're gonna have a son
       Em6
We're gonna have a son
          Em7
Hmm we're gonna have a son

The ghost train
