Guitar 1 plays this 1x, then Guitar 2 comes in.
For the rest of the song, Guitar 2 plays the chords,
while guitar 1 plays the same chords, but plays verses
and chorus in the picking pattern above.
[Verse 1]
E A E
So few remaining Rainwater Rats
B A
Fewer could tell you what the nickname meant
E B A E
They still live and die near an aging railway line
B A
Blessed once-an-hour by its passing
[Bridge 1]
E A E A
[Verse 2]
E B A E
When the siren broke the silence, heralding mid-day
B A E
I'd rant and curse the awakening
B G#m F#m E
I was tinder-sparked and smoking, the air raid wasn’t helping
B A C#m
My head was in the clouds, my wheels were spinning
[Chorus]
B F#m E A E
The only thing that never breaks
B A E
Constant passing, thundering rails
B A F#m
Constant passing, thundering rails
A E
Logan County had me screaming bloody murder
B A E
With the constant sound of thundering rails
B A
Constant sound of thundering rails
[Bridge 2]
E B A E B A E A E A E
[Verse 3]
B A E
Now my face has come to show tell-tale lines of age
B A
Mark of a reckless type of living
E B G#m F#m E
I wrap myself in warm contempt for nostalgic passing fancies
B A C#m
Never had a peak to recall, don't believe in "glory days"
[Chorus]
B F#m E A E
The only thing that never breaks
B A E
Constant passing, thundering rails
B A F#m
Constant passing, thundering rails
A E
Logan County had me screaming bloody murder
B A E
With the constant sound of thundering rails
B A
Constant sound of thundering rails
