Well I finally sat down with the Singles CD and bashed this out. I can
play the riff at the beginning, but now that I don t have my guitar
in hand I forget it. Agh. I can t understand two places where Chrissy
is singing either-- crescending and baggle aren t words that I know
of, but that sounds like what she s saying. Corrections appreciated.
opening strum: D A G G D A G G
riff x2
I found a picture of you oh
What hijacked my world at nights
To a place in the past we ve been passed out of oh
Now we re back in the fight
We re back on the train (ooh, ah)
Ohh
Back on the chain gang
The cirtance beyond our control oh
The fool on TV and the news of the world
Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, oh
Crescending our eyes and descended like flies
Put us back on the train, yeah
Oh
Back on the chain gang
riff x2
bridge:
Dm A Dm A and so on
The powers that be
That forces us to live like we do
Bring me to my knees
When I see what they ve done to you
chord comping
I ll die as I stand here today
Knowing that deep in my heart
Therefore to ruin one day
For making us part-----
I found a picture of you, oh
Those were the happiest days of my life
Like a brick in the baggle was your part, oh
In the wretched life of a lonely heart
Now we re back on the train
Ohh
Back on the chain gang

Now we re back in the fight
We re back on the train hey
Aaaah, back on the chain gang
Cirtance beyond our control oh

Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, oh
Threw sand our eyes and descended like flies

I found a picture of you, oh
Those were the happiest days of my life
Like a break in the battle was your part, oh
In the wretched life of a lonely heart
Now we re back on the train, hey

NOTE: If you find Gmaj/B too hard to finger, try Bm in its place. Not
as accurate, but a hell of a lot easier.

There are about three versions of this already in the archive, but none of
them is quite right. This one s a little better; someone sent it to me last
fall, and I recently cleaned it up because I wanted to play it.
Unfortunately, this might still have mistakes; I can t check because I don t
have the album. I ll have to see if I can get them to play it on the radio...
