Electric Trains
(Difford/Tilbrook)

Vocal:      Glenn

Chords typed up by Geordan Rosario, but thought up by Glenn Tilbrook.
Remember that one, folks.

I figured out the chords from a videotape of their performance on
Conan O'Brien, so if there are blatant errors, that's probably
where they're from.  Also, my tape was cut off, so I don't know the
ending!
