Delta Rhythm Boys – Take The A Train Chords

You must take the A train
To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem
If you miss the A train
You will find you missed the quickest way to Harlem
Hurry get on now its coming
Listen to those rails a thrumming
All aboard get on the A train
soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem

You take your baby to Harlem you’re bound to find a hole
Up on Sugar Hill where everyone’s having a solid ball
You’ll board that A Train,
And then you ride ’til you dig this number:
145 Street where all the cats meet posing on stroll.
Pops, they’re really in there. Ba an do da n da n do day

That’s the riff that the bands all play
It’s groovy the hepcats say;
Then you’ll know that you’re in Harlem
You got to get on that
A Train, and you will get a thrill
Yeah, if you’re lookin’ for a rhythm,
You will find it on Sugar Hill.

Now that you know just how to get up there
Dig up a nickel and you got your fare

If you want to go to happy Harlem
You take the A Train that goes uptown
And ride, ride, ride
Wait until you get on Sugar Hill
You’ll jump for joy ’til you get your fill
Have you got your nickel in your hand
Then hurry, don’t you miss that train, oh man
You must take the A Train
To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem
Better hurry get aboard that train
