C chordC Em chordEm
I hope this old train breaks down
Am chordAm G chordG
Then I could take a walk around
C chordC Em chordEm
And, see what there is to see
Am chordAm G chordG
And time is just a melody
C chordC
All the people in the street
Em chordEm
Walk as fast as their feet can take them
Am chordAm G chordG
I just roam through town
C chordC
And though my windows got a view
Em chordEm
The frame im looking through
Am chordAm G chordG
Seems to have no concern for me now

So for now

[Chorus]
C chordC Em chordEm
I, need this here
Am chordAm G chordG
Old train to breakdown
C chordC Em chordEm
Oh, please just
Am chordAm G chordG
Let me please breakdown


C chordC Em chordEm
This engine screams out loud
Am chordAm G chordG
Sayin the beat gonna crawl westbound
C chordC Em chordEm
So I dont even make a sound
Am chordAm G chordG
Cause its gunna sting me when I leave this town
C chordC
All the people in the street
Em chordEm
That i'll never get to meet
Am chordAm G chordG
If these dont bend somehow
C chordC
And I got no time
Em chordEm
That I got to get to
Am chordAm G chordG
Where I dont need to be

So I

C chordC Em chordEm
I, need this here
Am chordAm G chordG
Old train to breakdown
C chordC Em chordEm
Oh, please just
Am chordAm G chordG
Let me please breakdown
C chordC Em chordEm
I, need this here
Am chordAm G chordG
Old train to breakdown
C chordC Em chordEm
Oh, please just
Am chordAm G chordG
Let me please breakdown
C chordC En
I wanna break on down
Am chordAm G chordG
But I cant stop now

C chordC
But you cant stop nothing
Em chordEm
If you got no control
Am chordAm
Of the thoughts in your mind
G chordG
That you kept in, you know
C chordC
You dont know nothing
Em chordEm
But you dont need to know
Am chordAm
The wisdoms in the trees
G chordG
Not the glass windows
C chordC
You cant stop wishing
Em chordEm
If you dont let go
Am chordAm
But things that you find
G chordG
And you lose, and you know
C chordC
You keep on rolling
Em chordEm
Put the moment on hold
Am chordAm
The frames too bright
G chordG
So put the blinds down low

C chordC Em chordEm
I, need this here
Am chordAm G chordG
Old train to breakdown
C chordC Em chordEm
Oh, please just
Am chordAm G chordG
Let me please breakdown
C chordC Em chordEm
I, need this here
Am chordAm G chordG
Old train to breakdown
C chordC Em chordEm
Oh, please just
Am chordAm G chordG
Let me please breakdown
C chordC Em chordEm
I wanna break on down
Am chordAm G chordG
But I cant stop now

Great tab. You might need a capo or different tuning though to make it sound exactly like the song, but I think it sounds just fine with normal tuning...
