Bm Bbm Am G Am G
[Verse]
D D7 G
The trains used to run, all across Mexico
D D7 G
Way down through the Yucatán, wherever in hell, ya know?
C Bm
It was down in San Cristóbal, that I first heard the sound
Am D
Nina's voice on the jukebox, spinning darkly around
C
And I was so lost down there
Bm
Out of love and walking alone
Am D G
But walking beside me was Nina Simone
[Verse]
D D7 G
Tonight in my dressing room, the teakettle rattles
D D7 G
Water pipes dripping down on a plate of Spanish apples
C Bm
Outside in the freight yards, trains they rattle and moan
Am D
It's just Hank Williams talking to Nina Simone
C
Yeah, we've been to hell and come back
Bm
Where love cut us right down to the bone
Am D G
But walking beside us was Nina Simone
[Instrumental]
C Bm Am D G
[Verse]
D D7 G
I've driven your highways and back roads, I rode the Grey Dog
D D7 G
Through the snow and sleet and hail, through the sunlight and through the fog
C Bm
I've heard the ravens call morning up with their little raw saxophones
Am D
But the darkest of ravens was Nina Simone
C
Now we've been to hell and come back
Bm
Where love cut us right down to the bone
Am D G
But walking beside us was Nina Simone
[Outro]
D D7 G
The trains used to run, all across Mexico
