Train To Jackson by Jeffrey Foucault
Train To Jackson
Capo:2nd fret
Dsus2: 200320
Intro: Am G Dsus2 Am
Verse
Am
Dead before the sun could rise
G
I stole the silver off my lover’s eyes
Dsus2
Rolled out on the dark demise
Am G
Of midnight’s breaking day
Am
I was born full grown and raised up wild
G
All mortal bones and passions piled
Dsus2
Upon my head the blessed child
Am
The father of the man
Chorus
G Am
I cut my hair and caught a train to Jackson
G
I took a name and found the range
Am
Where my voice could make no sound
G Am
I met a man he told me “Son, I can see you’re on the run
G Dsus2 Am G Dsus2 Am
If you tell me where you’re going, I’ll tell you where you’re bound
Verse
Am
They put me off outside of town
G
A cold black rain was coming down
Dsus2
I lay my head on the red clay ground
Am G
And slept for a thousand years
Am
I woke into a fever dream
G
Where silence talked and money screamed
Dsus2
And nothing was but only seemed
Am
And nobody seemed to care
Chorus
G Am
I cut my teeth on the bread of pure temptation
G
I tried it all and I learned to fall
Am
Like I would never hit the ground
G Am
I met a ghost who looked like me I asked him, “Is it plain to see
G Dsus2 Am G Dsus2 Am
Or is it hidden?” He never made a sound
Verse
Am
I was a lion in a circus ring
G
A scarecrow dressed up like a king
Dsus2
Innocent of anything
Am G
Like love and going blind
Am
So I set all my clothes on fire
G
Sold my soul to any buyer
Dsus2
Wrapped my heart in concertina wire
Am
And showed it for a song
Chorus
G Am
I cut and run I ran until I stumbled
G
I struck out alone a rolling stone
Am
Forty days came up and down
G Am
I chased the river to the source I met a girl on a pale horse
G Dsus2
She pressed her fingers up against my lips
Am G Dsus2 Am
And I fell down dead and gone

*The B string is tuned a whole step down to an A
*He plays the first chord of the Verse as a tag (between verses and choruses)
Dead before the sun could rise
I stole the silver off my lover's eyes
Rolled out on the dark demise
Of midnight's breaking day
Born full grown and raised up wild
All mortal bones and passions piled
Upon my head the blessed child
The father of the man
I cut my hair and caught a train to Jackson
I took a name and found the range
Where a voice will make no sound
I met a man he told me "Son,
I can see you're on the run,
If you tell me where you're going
I'll tell you where you're bound"
They put me off outside of town
A cold black rain was falling down
I lay my head on the red clay ground
And slept for a thousand years
I woke into a fever dream
Where silence talked and money screamed
And nothing was but only seemed
And no one seemed to care
I cut my teeth on the bread of pure temptation
I tried it all and I learned to fall
Like I would never hit the ground
I met a ghost who looked like me
I asked him, "Is it plain to see
Or is it hidden?"
But he never made a sound
I was a lion in the circus ring
A scarecrow dressed up like a king
Innocent of anything
Like love and going blind
So I set all my clothes on fire
Sold my soul to any buyer
Wrapped my heart in concertina wire
And showed it for a song
I cut and run I ran until I stumbled
I struck out alone a rolling stone
Forty days came up and down
I chased the river to the source
I met a girl on a pale horse
She pressed her fingers up against my lips
And I fell down dead and gone
