Verse: 1 
      A                E 
I was listening to the trains 
      D      C#m 
I was up all night 
              A                E 
And something glistened in the strange 
D              C#m 
Blood-diffused light 
              A                  E6 
My friend was missing, and I was ghost 
      D            C#m 
I was flame, I was bright 
      A                E6 
I was listening to the trains 
      Dmaj7  C#m 
I was up all night

Oh James 
       E                Bm7       E         F# 
You've got no reason to stay in these plains 

Verse: 2 
      A              E 
I was racing against time 
          D         C#m 
With this friend of mine 
   A              E 
Collapsing just before 
             D          C#m 
We reach the end of the line 
       A               E6 
He was lifted, diamond straight 
             D              C#m 
Straight was cold, cold was black 
              A                  E6 
And black was glistening all the night 
    Dmaj7   C#m 
The sound remained

Oh, James 
       E                Bm7       E         F# 
You've got no reason to stay in these plains 

Outro 
  E        Bm7 
These plains 
    E                     Bm7 
Are barren and hateful terrain 
          E     Bm7 
And what remains 
       E     F# A 
Is the sound of trains
