about

C sharp. I’m tuned down half a step, playing a
D7 shape. Chords: C sharp7, F sharp, G sharp7.
Shapes: D7, G, A7. Numbers: I7, IV, V7. (An easier way
to play along in C sharp would be to capo the 1st fret, make
a C shape, play C7, F, and G7, and let the capo make the sharps.)

lyrics

Two Miles of Train

I been north and south and south and north
I been forth and back and back and forth
but right now I’m just underneath this tree
if I had a watch I’d be keepin’ mine
on Big Rock Candy Mountain time
that way I’m always where I need to be
and singin’

two miles of train
shootin’ right through my brain
got them hobo jungle fever dreams again
two miles of train
shootin’ right through my brain
got them hobo jungle fever dreams again

there’s a cherry blossom moonshine breeze
underneath these willow trees
yeah this spot was just too sweet to ignore
I mean how much luckier could we have been
the junkies moved out and we moved in
and camped right here behind the liquor store
all singin’

two miles of train
shootin’ right through my brain
got them hobo jungle fever dreams again
two miles of train
shootin’ right through my brain
got them hobo jungle fever dreams again

Sam Hazard he’s gone down the street
and left me here bustin’ up mesquite
for a little heat and southern Christmas cheer
Lost and Found and Lightnin’ Dan
Psycho and the Frying Pan
tonight I wish that they could all be here (and singin’)

two miles of train
shootin’ right through my brain
got them hobo jungle fever dreams again
two miles of train
shootin’ right through my brain
got them hobo jungle fever dreams again
got them hobo jungle fever dreams again
