Morningtown Ride Lyrics And Guitar Chords, not an Irish song but a folk song. Written by
Malvina Reynolda and recorded by The Seekers 1966.
[G]Train whistle blowin',[C] makes a sleepy[G] noise [C]Underneath their[G] blankets go[D] all the girls and boys [G]Rockin',
Rollin', Ridin', [C]out along the[G] bay [G]All bound for[C] Morning[G]town,[D] many miles a-[G]way[D]
Driver at
the engine, Fireman rings the bell Sandman swings the lantern to say that all is well Rockin', Rollin', Ridin', out
along the bay All bound for Morningtown, many miles a-way
Maybe it is raining where our train will ride All the
little trave'lers are warm and snug in-side Rockin', Rollin', Ridin', out along the bay All bound for Morningtown, many
miles a-way
Somewhere there is sunshine, somewhere there is day Somewhere there is Morningtown, many miles a-way Rockin',
Rollin', Ridin', out along the bay All bound for Morningtown, many miles a-way
The youtube video by myself is here to give you an idea how to strum along with the song. I'm using a capo on the 2nd
fret, so the key is A Major. But you don't have to use a capo, example, placing the capo on the 4th fret you'd be in the key
of B, with it on the 5th you'd be playing in C.
