Shiny and contoured the railway winds

And I've heard the sound from my cousin's bed

The hiss of the train at the railway head

Scars in the country, the summer and her

When I hear the engine pass I'm kissing you wide
     D            A            C   Cmaj7
The hissing subsides - I'm in luck
  A                Am                 C        Cmaj7
When the evening reaches here you're tying me up

Capo is on second fret for Trains live, fifth fret for studio (and one dodgy acoustic performance) Other than that, most of the chords are okay.

+15

This is pretty solid stuff. Its simple, concise, and sounds good. Good job.

I think it's Dsus2 not D, but close enough
