From the recording Phthalo Blue
Written in 1976, this tune is a fusion of styles: R&B, jazz and rock. Like the first track, No Shame and several others on this album, it features the late, great John Greeley on drums, recorded in 2002. Listen for the great solo at the end by bassist, Aaron Clay.
Lyrics
2. Turn This Train Around (Em)
Intro: Em Em Em Em (piano solo)
Vs. 1: Em Em
When the moon rises above the clouds
C C D Em
Spreading bent light to everything around
Em Em
When the sun burns away the air, I don’t care
C D Em
Or the stars no longer there
C D Em
That’s where I’ll take you when we find the open door
C D Em
That’s when we’ll realize it don’t matter anymore
C D Em Asus A
That’s when we’ll walk away, hand in hand, leading away
Bm Em
Turn this train around
Vs. 2:
Now the train is running down the track
And it’s never, ever coming back
There must be something you can show me in the long run
There must be something you can say
There must be something you can show me show me the way
Turn this train around
Br.: Emaj C D E
E C D E
Everyone, take someone, turn this train around
G C D G
Everyone, take someone, turn this train around
E C D E
Everyone, take someone, turn this train around
Em Em Em Em
Piano solo over verse, other solos as desired
Vs. 3:
When the moon rises above the clouds
Spreading bent light to everything around
There must be something you can show me in the long run
There must be something you can say
There must be something you can show me show me the way
Turn this train around
Everyone, take someone, turn this train around
Everyone, take someone, turn this train around
Everyone, take someone, turn this train around
Repeat and fade
