[Verse 1]

Eb            Bb/D             Bbm/Db
She was beautiful as Southern skies

C7
The night he met her

Fm7                                Bb9
She was married to someone

He was doggedly determined that he would get her

Fm7                          Ab/Eb Eb
He was old, he was young

                                      Db/Eb
From time to time he'd tip his heart

Ab/Eb                            Ab   Ebmaj7/G
But each time she withdrew

[Chorus]

Eb                              Db/Eb
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance

Everybody thinks it's true

Everybody thinks it's true

Eb       Bb/D              Bbm/Db       C7
Well eventually the boy and the girl get married

Fm7                                 Bb9
Sure enough they have a son

Eb                         Bb/D                  Bbm/Db                       C
And though they both were occupied with the child she carried

Fm7                             Ab/Eb Eb
Disagreements had begun

                          Db/Eb
And in a while they fell apart

It wasn't hard to do

Everybody thinks it's true

[Bridge]

Dbmaj9                     Cm7
Two disappointed believers

Bdim                                Cm7/Bb
Two people playing the game

Ab                          Eb/G
Negotiations and love songs

         Gb        Db/F       Cb                   Bb11
Are often mistaken for one and the same

[Verse 3]

Eb             Bb/D             Bbm/Db   C7
Now the man and the woman remain in contact

Fm7                             Bb9
Let us say it's for the child

Eb          Bb/D                             Bbm/Db
With disagreements about the meaning

                         C
Of a marriage contract

Fm7                                 Ab/Eb Eb
Conversations hard and wild

But from time to time

       Db/Eb
He makes her laugh

Ab/Eb                          Ab Ebmaj7/G
She cooks a meal or two

[Chorus]

Eb                              Db/Eb
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance

Ab/Eb                         Ebm7
Everybody thinks it's true

Eb                               Db/Eb
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance

Ab/Eb                          Eb
Everybody thinks it's true

[Verse 4]

Dbmaj9                             Cm7
What is the point of this story

Bdim                       Cm7/Bb
What information pertains

Ab                                              Eb/G
The thought that life could be better

      Gb        Db/F
Is woven indelibly

Cb            Bb11 Bb11                  Eb     Db/Eb
Into our hearts           and our brains

Ab/Eb     Ebm7
(Like a train in the distance)

Repeat & fade:

Eb Db/Eb Ab/Eb Ebm7
