Not 100% sure of the lyrics:

Intro:

F5 riff
This is not the sound of the train, this is not the sound of the train

(play 4x)

Verse 1:

C5
Let me tell you about this big abyss thing
G#5
Everybody says that they're listening
F#
It's the unrequited orchestra of locomotion
F5 riff
It's not the job that I blame

White comb in the slick of the rain

Crescendo of an inclined plane

Cold wet flannel over hand like a stain

Check your watch, no two are the same

Perhaps you'll notice how they always complain

Sweet nexus, so smooth and profane

These are no sounds of a train
C5
Not those screeching brakes I'm hearing
G#5
Or rusty tires, getting to it
F#
It's the unrequited orchestra of locomotion

Chorus:

F#5 F5
Come on everybody locomotion

Come on everybody locomotion, locomotion
(play x4)

Interlude part 1:

F#m

Part 2:

C5/G  D5/A  G#5/D#  F5/C

D5/A D5/A D5/A G#/D

Part 3:

No chord, but you can alternate between F5 and F#5.

Pre-verse:

F5 riff
This is not the sound of the train, this is not the sound of the train

(play 2x)

C5                        G#5              F#
Well, I guess we already talked about the orchestra and the train
F5 riff
Take this needlepoint, man by the plain

Can't slow that old horse by the reins

There will be no weak link in this chain

These are no sounds of no train

This is not the sound of the train

This is not the sound of the train

This is not the sound of the train

These are no sounds, no train

Repeat chorus 4x.

Outro:

C5/G  D5/A  G#5/D#  F5/C
