^Em she was married to ^A11 someone...
^D He was ^F#m doggedly ^Am/C determined that he would ^B7 get her,
^Em she was old, he was ^D6 young ^G6 ...
^D From time to time he'd ^D9 tip his heart, ^D6 but each time she wit ^G6 hdrew ^D/F# ,
^D Ever ^F#m ybody loves the ^Am/C sound of a ^B7 train in the distance,
