Tabbed by: The man from New York City
Tuning: Standard
****************************************************************************
This song is played with two guitars but I've tabbed it out to be played by one. I could
find a decent tab of this awesome song so I figured I would put an exceptional amount
effort into translating this tab. I'm just going to tab all of the parts but the little
part, you can listen to the song to figure out where to play each part. I've watched
live performances and listened to the record version very carefully so I'm sure its
accurate. Enjoy!

Lyrics
1st Verse
I've read the colours this morning
I've read the colours today
About a man who left from nowhere to be someone
And every day he has to pay in every way
2nd Verse
I met a man from New York City
He spoke of things I can't define
A good man driven frrom his home land
Trying to find some peice of mind
Chrous
It's a fast train
It's a fast train
It's a fast train
It's a fast train
