F G C F
Hear that whistle blowing, there is no Devil in it
G C
See the train a-coming, on time to the minute
F G C ~ Am
See the line a-stretching on into the distance
G
See the drawer etching, carrying on his romance
[VERSE 2:]
F G
Never had the time to stay
C F
He was always on the train

And always found a way to say

"I'll be back, but I don't know when"
Dm F
He was no dreamer____
[INTERLUDE:] F C G
[VERSE 3:]
F G C F
Take a trip up north and go round by the coast
G C
Stop off at the stations and hear the people boast
F G C ~ Am
All about the views and all about the country
G
Work a little, but pay the dues, maybe make a little money
[VERSE 4:]
F G
It took a long time to tire out
C F
But he always knew he would

But said, "I look for what's good
Dm F
I am no dreamer____"

[VERSE 5:]
G C F
I've heard some say that soon the train will run no more
G C
And when it falls to ruin, there is one thing for sure
F G C ~ Am G
The car will be standing there when grass grows over the station
Waiting for some missing songs for conversation
[VERSE 6:]
F G
There are not many left like him
C F
He must be near the last
G
He does not like the future
C F
Still talks surreally about the past
Dm F
He is a dreamer_______
