The Find You Train with cords



🎵 The Find You Train — Tee M.

(Guitar intro — soft fingerpicking)
** Image ID # Unavailable **

Verse 1
From this train,
I’ve been chasing the sound so long,
the steel hum of the rails beneath me,
the steady heartbeat of distance in a song.
Every bend in the track,
feels like it might reveal you there—
standing in the fog,
as though no time has touched your hair.
But the mist folds back,
and hides what I thought I knew…

Chorus
Still…
as long as the rails keep singing,
I’ll keep traveling on.
And somewhere—
between the echo and the horizon—
I will find you,
maybe on the train,
maybe on the train.

Verse 2
The train speaks in its own language—
the low rumble of the track,
the hollow cry of the whistle
pulls my heart right back.
It tells me stories I already know,
but I still ache to hear your name.
I don’t know where this road will end,
maybe that’s why I came.
The truth is, it’s not the end I seek—
it’s the memories calling me through…

Chorus
Still…
as long as the rails keep singing,
I’ll keep traveling on.
And somewhere—
between the echo and the horizon—
I will find you,
maybe on the train,
maybe on the train.

(Guitar outro — slow fade, lingering notes like a train fading into the distance)

🎵 The Find You Train — Tee M.

(Guitar intro — soft fingerpicking, train-like rhythm in the bass notes)

Verse 1
From this train,

the steady heartbeat of distance in a song.
Every bend in the track,

as though no time has touched your hair.
But the mist folds back,

I don’t know where this road will end,
maybe that’s why I came.
The truth is, it’s not the end I seek—
it’s the memories calling me through…

Bridge (soft, then building)
And if the night grows colder,
and the fog rolls in too deep,
I’ll hold the sound of your laughter
like a promise I can keep.
Every mile pulls me closer,
though I don’t know where or when—
I believe in the rails,
they’ll bring me back again…

Final Chorus (full, with emotional lift)
Still…
as long as the rails keep singing,
I’ll keep traveling on.
And somewhere—
between the echo and the horizon—
I will find you,
maybe on the train,
maybe on the train.

(Guitar outro — slow fade, last notes ringing like a whistle disappearing into the mist)


Thoughts to go with: performance note so a guitarist/singer can capture the feeling of The Find You Train exactly



🎼 Performance Notes – The Find You Train

Tempo:
• Moderate ballad pace (around 72–78 BPM) — slow enough to let each lyric breathe, but with a gentle forward motion like a train in the distance.

Key & Feel:
• Works beautifully in G major or D major for a warm, nostalgic tone.
• Use a folk fingerpicking pattern in verses to keep it intimate, shifting to soft strums in the chorus for lift.

Intro:
• Guitar should mimic the rhythm of a train: steady alternating bass notes and soft higher strings.
• Let the first two measures be instrumental before vocals enter, to “set the scene.”

Verses:
• Keep the delivery soft and conversational, almost like you’re telling a story to yourself.
• Slightly draw out emotional words like fog, hair, and name to linger in the listener’s mind.
• End each verse with a small pause before moving into the chorus, letting the words “breathe.”

Chorus:
• Transition from fingerpicking to gentle strumming to create lift.
• Vocals should open up here — warmer, more hopeful.
• Repeat “maybe on the train” with just a touch more volume the second time to emphasize longing.

Bridge:
• Start very soft — almost a whisper — then gradually build in volume and intensity, mirroring the feeling of a train drawing near.
• Let the line “I believe in the rails” swell with emotion before resolving back into the final chorus.

Final Chorus:
• This should feel like a release — fuller guitar sound, richer vocal tone.
• Lean into the sustained notes, letting them ring.
• On the final “maybe on the train,” allow your voice to fade slightly, like a whistle disappearing into the mist.

Outro:
• Return to the fingerpicking pattern from the intro, letting the last chord ring out naturally.
• Optional: softly mimic a train whistle on guitar harmonics or slide, then let silence fall.

chord sheet for The Find You Train so it’s ready for a guitarist to pick up and play.
I’ve kept it in G major for a warm, folky feel that works beautifully with a male voice.

full play-through blueprint for The Find You Train:



🎼 Performance Demo Guide — The Find You Train

Key: G Major
Tempo: 74 BPM (steady, train-like sway)
Time Signature: 4/4
Vocal Range: Baritone/Tenor-friendly (low G to high D)



🎸 Guitar Arrangement
• Verses: Fingerpicking pattern — alternate bass note (root or 5th) with higher strings.
Example for G: pluck 6th string → 4th string → 3rd → 2nd → 4th → 3rd → 2nd → 3rd.
• Choruses: Gentle down-up strum with emphasis on downbeats, letting chords ring.
• Bridge: Start fingerpicking for first two lines, gradually move into light strum to build emotion before the last chorus.



Full Demo Layout

Intro (2 bars — fingerpicking)
• Chords: G → Cadd9 → G → D
• Let notes ring, soft and atmospheric.



Verse 1 (fingerpicking, storyteller tone)
• Vocal dynamic: soft, intimate
• Light bass emphasis on beat 1, gentle treble notes in between.



Chorus 1 (gentle strum, warmth opens up)
• Keep strumming airy, almost like brushing the strings.
• On “maybe on the train,” slow slightly for emphasis.



Verse 2 (return to fingerpicking)
• Dynamic similar to Verse 1, but with slightly more vocal weight.
• Convey longing — lean into words like “whistle,” “name,” and “memories.”



Bridge (dynamic build)
• First 2 lines: soft fingerpicking, almost whispered delivery.
• Line 3 (“Every mile pulls me closer”) — transition to light strum.
• Final line (“They’ll bring me back again”) — strong emphasis, hold last chord.



Final Chorus (full strum, emotional lift)
• Strum more fully but keep it open and resonant, not aggressive.
• First “maybe on the train” — strong and confident.
• Second “maybe on the train” — fade volume, soften, let the emotion carry.



Outro (fingerpick, fade out)
• Repeat G → Cadd9 → G → D → G.
• Last G chord: let it ring naturally until it fades like a train disappearing in the distance.



🎯 Tip for Demo Recording:
• Add faint train sounds in the background (a soft whistle before Verse 1, distant rumble under the outro).
• Record vocals close-mic’d to give a personal, intimate storytelling feel.
• Guitar tone: warm, woody, with a little reverb to create space.
