      Train Song By Lisa Loeb off of the Purple Accoustic tape.
      This is my(I'm Adam Rogoyski) Transcription of this great song.

      During the Intro, The E Minor chord has a pull off and hammer on
      real quick on the 2nd fret of the 3rd string, the The D following
      it has a Pull off on the 2nd fret of the 6th string.  This will be
      used throughout the song where it follows the chord pattern as the
      intro.  The rest just strum like it sounds.

Em(bar)                     Am - Bb - Bm             Em(bar)   Am - Bb - Bm
You were dancing with another, you were standing so straight.

She was like a pipe dream, not a bad position.

She had long legs, had big breats, she was an apparition.

With tempestuous eyes, we said our goodbyes.
D            C     Em
Pulse stopped, was petrified.

I saw you as you sat down and cried.
