Mystery Train - as performed by The Band on their Moondog Matinee album

Transcribed by Alan Bataille


Levon's drums mimic the chugging of a steam engine

E     A                         E
Train train, rollin' around the bend

When I got down to the station the train was pullin' out of sight

Well I don't want no ride  just bring my baby back
