Waterboys - Some Of My Best Friends Are Trains Chords

[Intro]
Am  G  Am  G  Am  G  Am  G

[Verse]
  Am                                             G
Flashman's in the belfry, shouting as loud as he can
Am
Samson's up all night again, talking about himself
       G
What a wonderful man
    D                   Em
And I'm just wild about Ronnie
    C                        D
And Ronnie's just wild about me
          Em                          C
I saw him selling winter coats on the Portobello Road
             D                                          Em
I thought, I bet he wishes he was really working for the NME

[Chorus]
         Am   D    G          D
When the gang come down here again
            Am                            G
And they're phoning up Australia and they call each other names
         Am                               G
And they all just wanna look like Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine
       Am       C           G
Some of my best friends are trains

[Verse]
    Am                                              G
Now Steven's in a sweat, he just can't read Kerouac books,  no
    Am                                                   G
And Robin's all excuses, says he can't find much, but he does look
        D
He goes up to the playfair
        Em
He goes down with the stars
        C                         D
He goes wild all the weekend in a girlfriend's car
       Em                           C
And he calls me from Chelsea and he says it's such a thrill
             D                                     Em
And though I don't believe a word, but he keeps me talking

[Chorus]
         Am   D    G          D
Till the gang come down here again
            Am                            G
And they're phoning up Australia and they call each other names
         Am                               G
And they all just wanna look like Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine
       Am       C           G
Some of my best friends are trains

[Instrumental]
Am  G  Am  G
D  Em  C  D  Em  C  D
Am  G  Am  G  Am  G  Am  C  G

[Verse]
    Am
And did you ever have one of those days
          G
Where the world's wide open and you can do anything
            Am
And you can go anywhere and you don't have to think
      G
About who you'll offend every time that you even blink
    D                            Em
I'm going to the station where a big red train
   C                         D
Is waiting to take me to the country again
     Em                            C
Then you'll come from Yonkers, but why should I care
      D                                      Em
It'll rain and rain for days and days and you know I won't be there

[Chorus]
         Am   D    G          D
When the gang come down here again
            Am                            G
And they're phoning up Australia and they call each other names
         Am                               G
And they all just wanna look like Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine
       Am       C
Some of my best friends

[Chorus]
          Am   D    G          D
Yeah, the gang come down here again
            Am                            G
And they're phoning up Australia and they call each other names
         Am                               G
And they all just wanna look like Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine
       Am       C           G
Some of my best friends are trains

[Outro]
Am  G  Am  G  Am  G  Am  G  Am  G  Am  G
