MAGNETIC FIELDS - Tablatura - Fear Of Trains

#

my band Leslie Can't Love plays this so I figured why not transcribe it.
Chords with words are first. Some riffs are tabbed at the bottom.

Fear of Trains by the Magnetic Fields. 'Charm of the Highway Strip'

into: G F C
VERSE 1:
G F C
It was the army train that took her daddy from her

G F C
It was the bible train that took her momma too

Am Dm C G
And that high loud whistle made her horse run away

G F C
But the straw the broke the camel's back was you

G F C
It was the government train that took away her childhood

G F C
It was the KKK that took away her past

Am Dm C G
It was the white man's will that hers be broken

G F C
But that barefoot girl could run too fast

CHORUS:
C Am
Because the world's too cold for a girl like that with a

C G
Blackfoot soul and a cowboy hat

C Am
Everything she loved went down the dragon track

C G F C
She had a fear of trains

BRIDGE:
C G
In the beet fields of Montana

Dm Am
She's always coming on dead rails

C G
to break the plow and whisper "Honey,

Dm Am
bound to live is bound to fail"

C G
And in a park in San Francisco

Dm Am
her momma shrieks about the Lord

C G
And down the dead rails there's an echo

Dm Am
The wind is whistling all-aboard

CHORUS

VERSE2: (same chords as before)
It was the wagon train that too away her country
It was the oil train that took away her land
She could have been the belle of the ponderosa
but that was not the fat man's plan
