Verse-
Fmaj7Fmaj7/ GGsus2/
Everybody talks about some fateful day
Am7F
And I guess that this was mine
Fmaj7Fmaj9Fmaj7
I may be here to tell some kind of story
FGFGCmajFsus2(maj7)/ C
But I think it's gonna take a little time
CmajCsus2(maj7)/
(That's all right)
Fmaj7
See I'm rockin' in a cradle
Fmaj7/ GFsus2/ GGmaj7/
Down the hall somewhere and I am--
Am7Fmaj
Lost inside a dream
Fmaj7
Maybe I am falling
Fmaj9Fmaj7
Maybe I am flying
Fmaj7/ GCmaj
But I know if I am crying she is
Fsus2(maj7Csus2(maj7)/
Holding me
Pre-chorus-
Fmaj
And then the sky broke up
Fmaj
And then the rain came down
FCmajCCmajFsus2(maj7)/ C
And it washed away everything on the ground
Fmaj
Wash it away
Fmaj
Wash it away
FCFCCmajmaj7)/
Fsus2(maj7)C
Wash it away
Chorus-
GmajGadd11
Now baby's got that bottle
GmajGadd11
Filled up with lightning and rain
Fmaj7
He keeps calling out for someone
Fmaj-Am7-GadC11-Cmaj-Fsus2(maj7)/
But she's riding on a train
CmajCsus2(maj7)/
Riding on the ghost train
Fmaj
And she keeps on riding
CmajFsus2(maj7)/C
She's gonna keep on riding
Fmaj
Mama keep on riding
Cmaj
Keep on riding
Bridge- (I have attempted to tab the "entral melody line" for one guitar. There are
instruments used during the bridge and you may wish to make your own arrangements for this
This is what I play when performing this song solo on an acoustic guitar.)
