verse 3
E A E
I have loved many faces, many places
E A E
All aboard my train but depart at different stations

And some of them look the same

But none of them smell the same

And some of them will never change

While some of them are growing strange

And some of them are center stage

While some of them go and turn my page
A E
And summer rain growing pain
A E
And some are diseased with rage
A E
Oh, but all of them are aboard my train
A E
But all of them are a friend of mine
B A E A E
And oh, my darling, can't you see
B A E A E
Oh that babe, oh and you are a part of me
