NOTE: You can have a lot of freedom with this song. Once you have
the basic chord pattern just kind of go nuts with it.
I don't have the CD or my guitar with me, so I'm just going
from memory on this.

Picking pattern for Intro (listen to the CD for the
changes):

     A                  D
|e--------------------------------------------------|
|B-------------------------3---3----3---3-----------|
|D-----2---2----2---2--------2--------2-------------|
|G-------2--------2-----0--------0------------------|
|A--0--------0--------------------------------------|
|E--------------------------------------------------|


     A                  E
|e--------------------------------------------------|
|B--------------------------------------------------|
|D-----2---2----2---2-------------------------------|
|G-------2--------2-------2---2---2---2-------------|
|A--0--------0--------------2-------2---------------|
|E----------------------0-------0-------------------|



Verse 1 (with picking pattern above):
            A                                 D
There’s a train of love comin’ ‘round the corner
            A                           E
There’s a train of love crossing the border
            A
There’s a train of love comin’ ‘round the corner
   D                                  E
Gonna jump on, gonna jump on at the border
 A               E                 A
Train of love comin’ ‘round the corner


Verse 2 (same chords as verse 1, but faster blues-style):

I got the fear of God and some money tucked away in my shoe
I got a little green bud in a locket with a picture of you
I got permission from your dad and a kiss from your mother
They send you their love, they want to send you your brother
Train of love is comin’ ‘round the corner


Verse 3:
The engineer is crazy and the train is travelin’ so fast
You’ve got to jump on the future with little regard for the past
Johnny walked the line and I’m gonna follow
Get her home tonight, she might not see tomorrow
Train of love is comin’ ‘round the corner


CHORUS:
D                      G                 A
Grab your levi’s and bring your cowboy boots
D               G
Quit your job, say goodbye
B                           E
Tell your friends you’re leaving tonight
         A       D      G        D
On the train of love (train of love)
A          D      G       D
Train of love (train of love)
A          D     E
Train of love


Verse 4:
If you’re feeling kind of crazy, we could take this train through the woods
We’ll get married in the forest, Honeymoon in my neighborhood
The twins are on the way, Hannah and Samatha
We’ll buy a big house and live happy ever after
Train of love is comoin’ ‘round to take me to you.

CHORUS:
D                      G                 A
Grab your levi’s and bring your cowboy boots
D               G
Quit your job, say goodbye
B                           E
Tell your friends you’re leaving tonight
         A       D      G        D
On the train of love (train of love)
A          D      G       D
Train of love (train of love)
A          D      G       D
Train of love (train of love)
A          D      E
Train of love


DRUM ROLL (then do something like this):

|e--------9---9---9---9----10----10----12---12-------|
|B---------------------------------------------------|
|D------9---9---9---9---10----10----12----12---------|
|G---------------------------------------------------|
|A---------------------------------------------------|
|E---------------------------------------------------|

Then play the E chord as the drummer really kicks it in.


A          D      G       D
Train of love (train of love)
A          D      G       D
Train of love (train of love)
A          D      G       D
Train of love (train of love)
A          D      G       D
Train of love (train of love)
A          D       E                 A
Train of love is comin’ ‘round the corner
  A                E                 A
Train of love is comin’ ‘round the corner
  A                E                 A
Train of love is comin’ ‘round the corner
  A                E    F#     G          A     D     A
Train of looooooooooooovvvvvvvvvveeeeeee

(you really have to know the song for this last
part to make sense)
