tuning : standard , capo on 2nd fret

intro
Am ( x2 ) F C

verse 1
C
took a walk in rotterdam , thinking about her train
E
all along the banks of memory , holding tide away
F G
and on the end of every corner i could almost hear her sound
C
time went by in ecstasy , walking next to walls
E
and the color of the water , was the rails that she was on
F G
and when the whistles blew far away , i felt she knew somehow

chorus
F G C G Am
for the train often rattles , from the rails shaking ground
F G C Am F C
i close my eyes and almost hear her now

verse 2
C
took a walk in rotterdam , dodging spoke and wheel
E
and a few unnerving riders , agile or insane
F G
and the rest , victims of fashion , lord we’re all to blame
C
found myself a bar stool , and something on the rocks
E
i was dreaming i could ride the sun , westward as it dropped
F G
and find her at the station , gracefully rolling to a stop

chorus
F G C G Am
for the train often rattles , from the rails shaking ground
F G C Am F C
i close my eyes and see her westward bound

bridge
G F
well i’ll keep that mind a wandering , of love on the rails
C G
slow rolling days , steel pushing home
F C G
mile over miles gone in the blink of an eye

chorus
F G C G Am
for the train often rattles , from the rails shaking ground
F G C Am F C
i close my eyes and see her westward bound
