VERSE:
G                     Bm
On a train ride from some place bad
C                      D     Bm
  To some place little better 
G                Bm
  In between my youth and manhood
C               D      Bm
  Was a place I met her 
G                        Bm
  She was just a skinny brown eyed girl 
C                   D       Bm
  With a hunger for tomorrow 
G                  Bm
  And I was then obese by pain. 
C                        D      Bm
  I had all that I could swallow. 
 
 
CHORUS:
C                  G         Em
  Oh, fair haired travelling girl
C                   Em D  C
  Keep on travelling on on on
C                  G
  Oh, fair haired travelling girl
               Em  
It's just the seat 
          D       C  C   G  C  D  G
that you have is wrong 
 
 
VERSE:
 G                     Bm
Her eyes were packing passed regrets. 
C                         D       Bm
  In her lips there was redemption 
G                     Bm
  And she mistook my coat for love. 
C                      D      Bm
  As she wore it for affection 
G                      Bm
  And as she took the seat beside me. 
C                      D        Bm
  I inhaled all of her laughter 
G                      Bm
  And she forgot there is a past. 
C                           D     Bm
  While I forgot there is an after.
 
 
CHORUS:
C                  G         Em
  Oh, fair haired travelling girl
C                   Em D  C
  Keep on travelling on on on
C                  G
  Oh, fair haired travelling girl
               Em  
It's just the seat 
          D       C  C    G  C  D  G
that you have is wrong

VERSE:
G                     Bm
On a train ride from some place gone. 
C                      D      Bm
  To some place almost certain 
G                Bm
  In between my flesh and bone. 
C                 D      Bm
  Was the place I met her 
G                       Bm
  Her wrapped up in my coat of shame. 
C                         D       Bm
  She laid there sleeping tightly 
G                              Bm
  And as the train pulled to another stop. 
   C                             D      Bm
I left and I knew she'd go on without me.

That's all
