ELTON JOHN - "Runaway Train" Tablature
Official ELTON JOHN Tablature & Sheet Music »
Runaway Train by Elton John
Capo 3rd fret.
INTRO:
Em Am C B7 Em
VERSE 1:
Em
There's a hungry road I can only hope's
Am
Gonna eat me up inside
C B7
There's a drifting spirit coming clean
Am Em
In the eye of a lifelong fire
Em
Tell Monday I'll be around next week
Am
I'm running ahead of my days
C B7
In the shotgun chance that scattered us
Am Em
I've seen the error of my ways
C B7 Em
Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh
VERSE 2:
Well we've wrapped ourselves in golden crowns
Like sun gods spitting rain
Found a way home written on this map
Like red dye in my veins
In the hardest times that come around
The fear of losing grows
I've lost and seen the world shut down
It's a darkness no one knows
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
CHORUS:
G
And I've poured out the pleasure and dealt with the pain
D B7
Standing in a station waiting in the rain
C G
I'm starting to feel a little muscle again
D G
But love is lost like a runaway train
G
Oh I'm out of control and out of my hands
D B7
I'm tearing like a demon through no man's land
C G
Trying to get a grip on my life again
D G
Nothing hits harder than a runaway train
SOLO: (as for verses)
Em Am C B7 Am Em
Em Am C B7 Am Em
C B7 Em
CHORUS x2
OUTRO:
G D B7 C G D G repeat to fade
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ELTON JOHN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
