Dm
I took the cannonball down to the ocean
Across the desert from sea to shining sea
I rode a ladder that climbs across the nation      C/G
Fifty million feet of earth between the buried and me

Dm
She buys a ticket cause it's cold where she comes from
She climbs aboard because she's scared of getting older in the snow
Love is a ghost train rumbling through the darkness   C/G
Hold on to me darling I've got nowhere else to        go

                      Dm
I took the cannonball down to the ocean
Watched the diesel disappear beneath the tumbling waves
Love is a ghost train howling on the radio           C/G
"Remember everything." she said, "when only memory remains."
