INTRO F#m Em F#m Em
D Asus4/E
Steep is the water tower
D Bm F#m
painted off blue to match the sky
Em
can't ignore the train
(same as 1st verse)
night walks in the vally silent
you could swear the earth just moved
can't ignore the train
D
dust to be kicked up
Em D/F# D Em D/F# D
in the crack faced idle sinister town
Em D/F# D
screen door to the rail station
Em D/F#
devil in her shoe
D Asus4/E
ran along side the wasted tracks
D Bm F#m
hem pins darted her calves
Em
can't ignore the train
(same)
one spoiled girl with the tidiest apology
some how wedged inside her throat
can't ignore the train
D
patience their virtue
but I never could abide by that
Em D/F# D
dungeon life with electric light
Em D/F# D
a clean towel and a basin
Em D/F# D
mantle figures mind their place
Em D/F# D Asus4/E D Bm F#m Em Dsus2 Dadd9
laughs where they belong
F#m Em F#m Em
through adventure we are not adventuresome
(same as 1st verse)
rage to share with a wardrobe mirror
in a roon so beige and cold
can't ignore the train
window days saw the children pick their
street games on thirty afternoons
D
Molly the boys are
starting in the rhyme again
Em D/F#
teasing more and more....
D Em
the second daughter
D/F# D
how she fell
Em D/F# D
young locked in Some Folk's Prison
Em D/F# D
made to dwell
Em D/F#
til they're braiding
D
her grey hair
Em D/F# D
sitting in the wishing chair
sitting in the wishing chair
sitting in the wishing chair
