Verse-
/ /
Everybody talks about some fateful day
And I guess that this was mine
I may be here to tell some kind of story
/ /
(maj7)/
But I think it's gonna take a little time
(maj7)/
(That's all right)
See I'm rockin' in a cradle
/ / /
Down the hall somewhere and I am--
Lost inside a dream
Maybe I am falling
Maybe I am flying
/
But I know if I am crying she is
(maj7)/ (maj7)/
Holding me
Pre-chorus-
And then the sky broke up
And then the rain came down
(maj7)/
And it washed away everything on the ground
Wash it away
Wash it away
(maj7)/
(maj7)/
Wash it away
Chorus-
Gadd11
Now baby's got that bottle
Gadd11
Filled up with lightning and rain
He keeps calling out for someone
--Gadd11--Fsus2(maj7)/
But she's riding on a train
(maj7)/
Riding on the ghost train
And she keeps on riding
(maj7)/ (maj7)/
She's gonna keep on riding
Mama keep on riding
Keep on riding
Bridge- (I have attempted to tab the "entral melody line" for one guitar. There are
instruments used during the bridge and you may wish to make your own arrangements for this
This is what I play when performing this song solo on an acoustic guitar.)
