Light Hearted Latin Jazzy Reggae Pop

This tune continues to evolve. It began with me thinking about my friend John Rayburn. We met in Chulai Vietnam.
His e-mail followed a few months later by the news of his passing lead to this tune. The last verse continues to change.

I Missed That Train Greg Murat Start on D
Dedicated to my friend John Rayburn

G                      D
I heard from a dear old friend
   A                                 D
I knew from way back when    (in Vietnam)
G                   G/F#                 Em       D
Said he was living down in Texas, Hey
G                            A
Why not just drop in
G                                   A
I didn't go, I thought I had more time
                D        D/C#                   D/B      D/A
Then my buddy up and passed away
          G                                   A
Now any chance of seeing my old friend
            G                     A
Has gone to yesterday

Chorus
                          D                    Bm
I missed that train I didn't get on
                         G                     A
I missed that train Now it's gone
                          D                     Bm
I missed that train Watched it go
                              G                     A              Bm
Where it would have taken me I'll never know
                        F#m   Em    A     Bm
I missed that train

There was a girl back in school
I loved with all of my young heart
We were close, the best of friends
From the very start
But I never told her that I loved her
So I guess she never knew
If you have the chance to say those words
I recommend you do

Chorus

Bridge
A                            Bm
We're all on this journey
A                   Bm
It goes by so fast
              G                     G/F#
You've got to take the chance
                       Em             D
When you’ve got the chance
G                                         A
Before the chance has passed

~~~~~~~~~~This versed is still in progress~~~~

G                           D
I fell out with my oldest son
A                                 D
We didn't speak since then
G         G/F#             Em     D
I don't recall the reasons why
          G             A
Doesn't matter much in the end
G                                            A 
I find I fear that with passing time
D        D/C#         D/B
Nothing will be said
G                      A
We will either find forgiveness
     G            A                D
Or hold this hurt instead
*

Bridge 2
     A                       Bm
Say I love you when you can
               A                            Bm
Say I'm sorry when you're wrong
          G               G/F#              Em       D
And when your train comes rolling in
        G                            A7 sus    A#7sus
For God's sake just get on         just get on

 

                        D#                       Cm

                          G#                         A#
Don’t miss that train.   It’ll gonna be gone

Don’t miss that train     Don't watch it go
                                G#                 A#                       Cm
Where it would’ve taken you you’re never gonna know
                           Gm   Fm   A#    Cm
Don’t miss that train

Too many times I fell out with friends and family
Through weary wounded soldier's sight
I just see enemies
So I live without their music and
The laughter that we shared
I don't tend to make amends
I'm never quite prepared
