Train Song
by Pentangle

Hey Pentangle fans! I know there might be only about five people out there that actually 
want to learn their
songs, but this is for you. I’ve loved this song since the first time I heard it and 
always wanted to play
it, so recently I decided to just sit down and tab it out. I think I’m pretty close on 
Bert’s part, but
John’s part get a bit crazy on this song at times, so I haven’t tabbed that out. Enjoy!

like he’s doing a harmonic on the 0 fret or nut.

Am Riff 1
Fare thee well, little lady
Train’s a-carrying me

One and a-two, three and a-four thousand miles
                 Am Riff 1
Miles from you

Am Riff 1
Lord, I tried my best
To be your man
Am Riff 2                                                               E Riff x4
Can you see, can you feel that burnin’ in my soul
                        Am Riff 1
Don’t you understand

Am Riff 1
Love is a basket of light
Grasp it so tight
Am Riff 2
Shinin’ bright, just ain’t right
                                E Riff
To be caught in the night
                                    Am Riff
Caught in the basket of light
