CD: Clear
c1998 Ardent Music
Written by Matt Berry
Tabbed by Steve Cruickshank


Intro: (weird effect) G  F  Eb  D


G            F                 Eb
Sixth street sun is going down
           D         G
Pavement's cool underneath
          F                   Eb
A vagrant so they say in town
           D
Seems that mercy can't compete


Enter guitar

G         F           Eb
Sleeping in a doorway
         D               G
Near the docks of Oyster Bay
         F                  Eb
Thirteen years and carrying shame
                  D
Never hearing the voice
           C  D/A      C   D/A   C  D/A
Of the One who    took his blame
         C  D/A                C
A whisper ----   he raised his head


Chorus:
(C)  G       D      F     C
Surrendered out do you believe?
        G        Am
Are you ready to ride the train?
C  G       D      F           C
Abandoned not by Love you'll see
          G        D
If you're ready to ride


Verse 2:
A one-piece paper suitcase,
a past whose future was foretold,
a life not made for dying,
instead the mystery began to unfold.
Unfolding - he raised his head


[chorus]


Bridge:
Dm     Am            C
Born into despair an orphan child,
G                 Dm
Will You care for me?
             Am
And like the train that saved me
C         G
Adopted by love eternally
   D                F                   C                    G
Opening His arms He wants you rich, you poor, you black, you white
            D                 F                   C
Receive His love that runs so deep, and high, and long, and wide


[chorus]
