opening strum: D A G G D A G G
riff x2
D A G G
I found a picture of you oh
What hijacked my world at nights
To a place in the past we've been passed out of oh
Now we're back in the fight
Em A
We're back on the train (ooh, ah)
Ohh
A D A G G
Back on the chain gang
The circumstance beyond our control oh
The fool on TV and the news of the world
Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, oh
Crescending our eyes and descended like flies
Put us back on the train, yeah
Oh
Back on the chain gang
D A G G
riff x2
bridge:
Dm A Dm A and so on
The powers that be
That forces us to live like we do
Bring me to my knees
When I see what they've done to you
chord comping
I'll die as I stand here today
Knowing that deep in my heart
A Dm
Therefore to ruin one day
A E
For making us part-----
E B A A
I found a picture of you, oh
Those were the happiest days of my life
Like a brick in the baggle was your part, oh
In the wretched life of a lonely heart
F#m B
Now we're back on the train
Ohh
B E
Back on the chain gang
E B E B until end
