From: Nathan Lanely Date: August 6, 2007 The chords are fine except for a couple of needed changes. On the "I'm the last of the good old-fashioned steam powered trains" section that ends each verse, instead of the chords running G, A, A7, I'd like to suggest G, D, A and then a return to E at the end. Also, in the group of chords that end the song, you might wish to try E, D, G, A, E.
