This is one of Joni's favourite tunings. The chord shapes will also be pretty
familiar to anyone who has played other songs of hers in this tuning
(e.g Sunny Sunday, Cherokee Louise etc). Even with those same chords, it's
still a great song, with a wonderful shuffle rhythm.
Intro:

Verse 1:

(Use hammer-ons to change from the 555555 chords to the 575655 chords)
0 12 12 12 12 0 xxx000 999800 777777
It was a dark and a stormy night
555555 575655 555555 575655 555555
Everyone was at the wing-ding
0 12 12 12 12 0 xxx000 999800 777777
They weren't the wing-ding type
555555 575655 555555 575655 555555
So they went up on the train bridge where the weather was howling and
5555xx 777777 999800 990000 5555xx 777777 999800 990000
Oh, oh, my my when that train comes rolling by

The crazy cries of love
(All verses and choruses use the same chords, except for the final chorus)
Verse 2:
--------
They were laughing, they were dancing in the rain
They knew their love was a strong one
When they heard the far off whistle of a train
They were hoping it was going to be a long one
Cuz oh, oh, my my
When that train comes rolling by
Chorus:
-------
No paper thin walls, no folks above
No one else can hear
The crazy cries of love
Middle 8:
---------
555555 575655 555555
In the back booth of an all night cafe
575655 555555 777777 999800 990000
Two dripping raincoats are hanging
555555 575655 555555 575655 555555
Outside in the weather
777777 999800
The shade on the streetlight is clanging
990000 555555 777777 999800
And they smile ear to ear and eye to eye
10 10 10 10 x x
Ice cream is melting on a piece of pie and
555555 777777 0 12 12 12 12 0 0 12 12 0 0 0 0 12 12 x x x
Oh, my my, no one else can hear the cries of love
0 12 12 12 12 0 0 12 12 0 0 0
Verse 3:
--------
Every kiss was sweet and strong
Every touch was totally tandem
As the train come a-rumbling along
They sang a lover's song of wild abandon
And oh, oh, my my
When that train comes rolling by
