[Verse One]
G                       Em
I've been sleeping in our mother's arms, with her warm leaves, falling down
Bm                      F#m
I've been thinking, how this could be, all that there really is.
A                       D
I've been captured, by the want of things, but it just won't make me smile... no more
G                       Em
I've eating the fruits of my labors, for far too long
Bm                      F#m
I been drinking, and now I don't think I can stop
A                       D
I've had blues for a while, but they're the best they've ever been
G                       Em
What do I do? What do I do?  If this is all there is...
Bm                      F#m
Cause I've been holding on, to a life, that'll end too soon

[Chorus One]
G                       Em
This train is bound for glory, this train
Bm                      F#m
This train is bound for glory, this train
A                       D
This train! IS bound for glory!
G                       Em
This train! Can I change my life story?
Bm                      F#m
This train …….is bound for glory
A                       D
This train …………….. this train

[Verse Two]
G                       Em
I've………..waited so long
Bm                      F#m
To try…………to get a chance.
A                       D
Everything's important……
G                       Em
When you can't make the ends….

[Chorus Two]
G                       Em
I'm a coming up--------
Bm                      F#m
Cause I've waited too long for this to go wrong
A                       D
Here's to hoping that I'll sprout my wing, for my legs fall off
G                       Em
And I've been hungry….
Bm                      F#m
I've also drank from the golden cup,
A                       D
And I've passed it off to broken queen who
G                       Em
Dances on my dreams….

[Outro]
G                       Em
Ohhh I'm coming up….
Bm                      F#m
I'm ready to move towards the light
A                       D
I'm ready to try my hand at chance
G                       Em
To claim my undivided right

Bm                      F#m
I've got both eyes wide open!
A                       D
For….one…in a life…..time…..
