[D]I found a [A]picture of yo[G]u   oh[G]

To a place in the past we've been passed out of  oh
Now we're back in the fight

[Em]We're back on the [A]train (ooh, ah)
Ohh
[A]    Back on the [D]chain gang[A][G][G]

The circumstance beyond our control oh
The fool on TV and the news of the world
Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, oh
Crescending our eyes and descended like flies

Put us back on the train, yeah
Oh
Back on the chain gang

The powers that be
That forces us to live like we do
Bring me to my knees
When I see what they've done to you

I'll die as I stand here today
Knowing that deep in my heart
[A]Therefore to ruin one [Dm]day
[A]For making us [E]part-----

[E]I found a [B]picture of [A]you, [A]oh
Those were the happiest days of my life
Like a brick in the baggle was your part, oh
In the wretched life of a lonely heart

[F#m]Now we're back on the [B]train
Ohh
[B]  Back on the [E]chain gang

[E]  [B]  [E]  [B]   until end
