BORN ON A TRAIN Written by Stephin Merritt. Released on The Charm of the Highway Strip, the third studio album by The Magnetic Fields. April 18, 1994 This is the key that the song is played by Arcade Fire during their live performance on the KCRW program Morning Becomes Eclectic. It's a nice and easy way to learn the song, if you're a beginner like me. They actually sang the lyrics out of order. So I fixed that. This is my first tab submission. I welcome any feedback or comments :)

Some^D roads are on^Gly seen at ni^Aght Ghost ^Droads -- ^Gnothing but neon s^Aigns.

But ^Dsome nights the ^Gneon gas gets ^Afree and ^Dturns into ^Gwalking dead like ^Ame

Chorus:

And ^GI've been making ^Apromises I ^Dknow I'll never ^Gkeep ^GOne of these ^Adays I'm gonna ^Dleave you in your ^Gsleep

^GI'll have to go when the ^Awhistle blows, the ^Dwhistle knows my ^Gname ^GBaby, I was ^Aborn on a ^Dtrain.

Well I ^Dknow that ^Gyou were never ^Ayoung And I ^Dknow you pr^Gobably won't get ^Aold

But ^Dhoney nobody's gonna ^Ghurt you ^Aanymore And ^Dnobody's going to ^Gmake you want to ^Adie

Chorus:

And ^GI've been making ^Apromises I ^Dknow I'll never ^Gkeep ^GOne of these ^Adays I'm gonna ^Dleave you in your ^Gsleep

^GI'll have to go when the ^Awhistle blows, the ^Dwhistle knows my ^Gname ^GBaby, I was ^Aborn on a ^Dtrain.

I'll^D go some ^Gcold and grey ^Amorning, and you ^Dwon't ^Gremember ^Aanything

But ^Dsome people d^Gon't believe in ^Adying, and ^Dsome of us ^Gdon't believe in ^Alife

Chorus:

And ^GI've been making ^Apromises I ^Dknow I'll never ^Gkeep ^GOne of these ^Adays I'm gonna ^Dleave you in your ^Gsleep

^GI'll have to go when the ^Awhistle blows, the ^Dwhistle knows my ^Gname ^GBaby, I was ^Aborn on a ^Dtrain.

^GBaby, I was ^Aborn on a ^Dtrain.
