Paul Simon

She was beautiful as Southern skies, the night he met her,
she was married to someone...
He was doggedly determined that he would get her,
she was old, he was young...
From time to time he'd tip his heart, but each time she withdrew,
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance,
Everybody thinks it's true
Verse Two:
Well eventually the boy and the girl get married,
Sure enough they have a son...
And though they both were occupied, with the child she carried,
Disagreements had begun...
And in a while they fell apart, It wasn't hard to do,
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance,
Everybody thinks it's true...
Bridge:
Two disappointed believers, two people playing the game
G6 D/F# F C Bb (Open)
Negotiations and love songs are often mistaken for one and the same
Verse Three:
Now the man and the woman remain in contact,
let us say it's for the child...
With disagreements about the meaning, of a marriage contract,
Conversations hard and wild...
But from time to time, he makes her laugh, she cooks a meal or two
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance,
Everybody thinks it's true...
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance,
Everybody thinks it's true...
Bridge:
What is the point of this story, what information pertain,
The thought that life could be better,
F C Bb (Open)
Is woven indelibly, into our hearts, and our brains...
Outro: D D9 D6 Dmaj9 D (x2)
