ANOTHER TRAIN 

Words and music - Pete Morton

The beginning is now and will always be 
You say you lost your chance, then fate brought you defeat 
but that means nothing, you look so sad 
You've been listening to those who say you missed your chance  

There's another train, there always is 
Maybe the next one is yours 
Get up and climb aboard another train  

You feel you're done there's no such thing 
although you're standing on your own your own breath is king 
The beginning is now don't turn around 
Regrets of bad mistakes will only drain you 

There's another train, there always is 
Maybe the next one is yours 
Get up and climb aboard another train 

We crawl in the dark sometimes and think too much 
Then we fill our heads with crazy things that only break our hearts 
and I know you've seen what the earth can do 
When it's dragging down another load of worrisome fools  

There's another train, there always is 
Maybe the next one is yours 
Get up and climb aboard another train  

I know it's hard when you feel confused 
You can crown yourself with fear now you feel you cannot move 
You're building worlds that don't exist 
Imagination plays the worst tricks  

There's another train, there always is 
Maybe the next one is yours 
Get up and climb aboard another train 
There always is 
Maybe the next one is yours 
Get up and climb aboard another train

Even though you asked for this in Ab, I am giving it to you in C, because it a pain to play in Ab on the guitar, and it is a fairly standard thing in C, moving down in the bass to G on the guitar(people used to thing of it as the "Mr. Bojangles" progression, but it really comes from the Pachelbel Canon, a classical piece, written about three hundred years ago) 
The song simply repeats this chord progression, four slow, stately beats to the measure(two counts on each chord)both verse and chorus(the slash marks divide the measures): 

||:C-Cmaj7/C6-C/F-Fmaj7|F6-G7:|| 

Basically, you move downwards scale-wise from the bass C note,C-B-A-G, then change to the F chord, and do the same, F-E-D-D but instead of moving to the C note on the last two counts, you stay on the D note and play G7 chord-- 
 
My recording is in C and I was playing with this over the weekend. (In the verse section I hear Am and Dm before F and G7?) I need to go study yours now... this is great!
