This is one of my favorite songs of the "The Transient" album. It's fairly simple, the
song it just finger picking chords. I didn't include a picking pattern, because its
easy to pick up, or you can just make your own. Also, just for a note, the voice that
Tangelo the second time is Conor Oberst's, lead singer of Bright Eyes.
Standard Tuning (EADGBe)
Chords:
= X32010
= XX3211
= 320001
Intro:
Train's coming gonna
Lay on the track
Happy right here
Laying on my back
Let the train wheel
Come take my life
Let the big steel
Make it alright cause I've
Got no friend to
Tell the trial
Lots of enemies so
Quick to defile
Suppose I'm drunk again but
I don't care
All I know is I'm
Less than the air
So lets not
compare
Feeling sorry are you
Feeling blue are you
Down and out now
And overdue
Feeling crumpled up and
Dented in
Are you trapped within your
Very own skin it's
Like jail you
You can't see the bars
Can't escape it by
Bleeding through your scars
Self deprecation
Is a boring hand
Your just bringing everyone
Down man
Feeling sacrificed you
Feeling slammed are you
Claustrophobic on this
Open land
Feeling smothered by the
Deep blue sky
Does the sunset
Hurt your eyes well your
Not the only one who
Got caught in the rain
This whole world don't
Revolve around your pain
You can go on now
Spin out in misery
I'll take the sun and the
sea
Whaa sham sham a ling on
Oohh dip dee dip
While my mental record
Starts to skip
Oranges, lemon, limes and
Tangelos (tangelo)
See the coconut tree
Next to the mighty mango the
High Sierra is
In my rearview mirror
Ain't it beauty
Beautiful my lovely dear
We got time so
So let's not abuse
Let's wear holes in our
Shoes
(Whistling)
