The Delta Rhythm Boys - Take The 'A' Train chords
Start Jamming...
[C#]
You must [A] take the A train [D#m] to [G#] Notre Dame, the [Fm] highway up in Harlem.
[C#]
If you miss [A] the A train, [D#m]
you'll find you missed the quickest [Fm] way to Harlem.
[F#] Hurry, get on, [D#m] now it's coming.
[D#] Listen to those [G#m] rails a-thrumming.
[G#] All aboard, get on [C#] the A train.
[A#m] Soon [B] you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem.
[C#] You take it baby to Harlem, you're bound to find the hall.
Up [F#] on Sugar Hill, [A#] where everyone's having a solid fall.
You board that A train, and then [D#] you ride till you dig this number.
145th [A#] Street, where all the cats meet, posing on the stroller, pops a really in [B] there.
Ba-da-loo-da, da-da [D#m]-loo-day, that's the riff that the bands all play.
[D#] [A#] It's groovy, the half [G#]-cats say, then you know that you're in Harlem.
You got to get on that A train, [C#] and you will get a thrill.
Yeah, [G#] if you're looking for rhythm, you'll find it on Sugar Hill.
[C#] [D#] Now that you know just how to get up [B] there, beat up a nickel and you got your pass.
[C#] If you [G#] want to go [F] to happy Harlem, you [F#m] take the [F#] A train that goes uptown and ride, [B] ride, ride.
[C#m] Wait until [B] you get [F#] on Sugar Hill, [A] you jaw
[C#] fill.
Have you [E] got your nickel [F#] in your [D] hand?
Then hurry, don't you miss [A] that train.
[B] [B]
Guess you must take [C] the A train, that A train, that A train.
[C#] You make it on time to go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem, [C#m] Harlem, baby.
Better [F#m] hurry, hurry, [B] get aboard [E] that train.
