Driver 8

[Intro]
| Em | Am | G | D |
| Em | Am | G | D |

[Verse 1]
Em                   Am
  The walls are built  up,
     G        Dsus4/F#
stone by stone
Em               Am            G
  The fields divided one by one
Dsus4/F#             Em               Am
        And the train  conductor says,  "take a break,
G        Dsus4/F#
 Driver 8
         Em
Driver 8,  take a break,
Am             G                     Dsus4/F#
  we've been on this shift too long."

[Chorus]
D             Cadd9   G6/B       D
 And the train     conductor says
              Cadd9 G6/B    D
"Take a break,      Driver 8
         Cadd9 G6/B        D
Driver 8,      take a break
            Cadd9    G6/B   Em
We can reach     our destination
But we're still a ways away."
                          Em
But it's still a ways away

[Verse 2]
            Am              G                 Dsus4/F#
I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm
      Em                 Am             G
The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get
       Dsus4/F#
snagged
         Em                   Am              G
The bells  are ringing through  the town again
Dsus4/F#         Em
        The children look up,
   Am                G    Dsus4/F#
all  they hear is skyblue bells   ringing

[Chorus]
D             Cadd9   G6/B       D
 And the train     conductor says
              Cadd9 G6/B    D
"Take a break,      Driver 8
         Cadd9 G6/B        D
Driver 8,      take a break
            Cadd9    G6/B   Em
We can reach     our destination
But we're still a ways away."
But it's still a ways away
But we're still a ways away
                          Am
But it's still a ways away

[Bridge]
                      G/B     C
A way to shield the hated heat
G                            D Dsus4 D
 A way to put myself to sleep
Am                      G/B C
  A way to shield the hated heat
G
 A way to put myself,
        D           Dsus4 D
my children to sleep

[Break]
| Em | Am | G | D |
| Em | Am | G |

[Verse 3]
D     Em             Am          G         Dsus4/F#
 He piloted this song  in a plane like that        one
Em                  Am         G            Dsus4/F#
She is selling faith  on the Go Tell crusade
  Em         Am             G
Locomotive 8,  Southern Crescent,
              Dsus4/F#          Em
hear the bells        ring again
                       Am               G Dsus4/F#
In the fields the wheat  is lookin' thin

[Chorus]
D             Cadd9   G6/B       D
 And the train     conductor says
              Cadd9 G6/B    D
"Take a break,      Driver 8
         Cadd9 G6/B        D
Driver 8,      take a break
             Cadd9     G6/B            D
We've been on     this shift too long."
             Cadd9   G6/B       D
And the train     conductor says
              Cadd9 G6/B    D
"Take a break,      Driver 8
         Cadd9 G6/B        D
Driver 8,      take a break
            Cadd9    G6/B   Em
We can reach     our destination

[Outro]
But we're still a ways away."
But it's still a ways away
But we're still a ways away
But it's still a ways away
