Spanish Train 5:00 Tabbed by: Betty Lou Dm ~

There's a Sp^Dmanish train that runs between ^Bb Quadalquivir and old Saville, ^C and at dead of night the whistle blows, and people h^A7ear she's running st^Dmill.

And then they h^Dmush their children back to sleep, ^Bblock the doors, upstairs they creep, for ^Cit is said that the souls of the dead fill that tr^A7ain ten thousand d^Dmeep!

Well, a r^Dmailwayman lay dying with his p^Bbeople b^Cy his s^Dmide, his family were crying, knelt in pr^Bbayer before he d^A7ied. But ab^Bbove his head just a-w^Caiting for the dead, was the D^A7evil with a twinkle in his ^Dmeye, "Well G^Bbod's not around and look what ^CI've found: ^C This one's m^Dmine !"

Just th^Dmen the Lord himself appeared in a bl^Bbinding fl^Cash of l^Dmight, and shouted at the devil, "Get thee h^Bbence to endless n^A7ight !" But the D^Bbevil just grinned and said, "I m^Cay have sinned, but there's n^A7o need to push me ar^Dmound, I got him f^Bbirst, so you can do your w^Corst, h^Ce's going undergr^Dmound !"

"Well I th^Dmink I'll give you one more chance," said the D^Bbevil w^Cith a sm^Dmile, "So throw away that stupid lance, it's r^Bbeally not your st^A7yle", "J^Bboker is the name, p^Coker is the game, we'll pl^A7ay right here on this b^Dmed, and th^Bben we'll bet for the biggest st^Cakes yet,^C the souls of the d^Dmead!"

And I said "L^Bbook out, L^Cord, he's going to w^Dmin, the s^Bbun is down and the n^Cight is riding ^Dmin. That tr^Bbain is dead on t^A7ime, many s^Dmouls are on the l^Gmine. oh, Lo^Bbrd,^C he's gonna w^Dmin!"

Well the r^Dmailway man he cut the cards and he d^Bbealt them each a h^Cand of f^Dmive

And for the Lord he was praying hard

or that tr^Bbain he'd have to dr^A7ive. Well, the D^Bbevil he had three ^Caces and a king, and the L^A7ord, he was running for a str^Dmaight, He had the qu^Bbeen and the knave and nine and ten of sp^Cades, ^C all he needed was the ^Dmeight.

And then the L^Dmord he called for one more card, but he dr^Bbew the d^Ciamond ^Dmeight,

And the Devil said to the son of God,

"I bel^Bbieve you've got it str^A7aight. So d^Bbeal me one for the t^Cime has come to see wh^A7o'll be the king of this pl^Dmace, But ^Bbas he spoke, from ben^Ceath his cloak, ^C he slipped another ^Dmace !

Ten th^Dmousand souls was the opening bid, and it s^Bboon went up to f^Cifty-n^Dmine,

but the Lord didn't see what the Devil did,

and he said, "th^Bbat suits me f^A7ine", "I'll raise you h^Bbigh to a h^Cundred and five, and for^A7ever put an end to your s^Dmins." But the D^Bbevil let out a mighty sh^Cout,^C "My hand w^Dmins !"

And I said "L^Bbord, oh L^Cord, you let him w^Dmin, the s^Bbun is down and the n^Cight is riding ^Dmin. That tr^Bbain is dead on t^A7ime, many s^Dmouls are on the l^Gmine, oh L^Bbord,^C don't let him w^Dmin."

Well, that Sp^Dmanish train still runs between, ^Bb Quadalquivir and old Saville. And at d^Cead of night the whistle blows, and people f^A7ear she's running st^Dmill.

And f^Dmar away in some recess the L^Bbord and the Devil are now playing chess. The Devil st^Cill cheats and wins more souls, and ^A7as for the Lord, well, he's just doing his b^Dmest.

And I said "L^Bbord, oh L^Cord, you've got to w^Dmin, the s^Bbun is down and the n^Cight is riding ^Dmin. That tr^Bbain is still on t^A7ime, oh, my s^Dmoul is down the l^Gmine, oh L^Bbord,^C you've got to w^Dmin." ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________

04. Patricia the Stripper 3:30 Tabbed by: Betty Lou Capo 5

D^Cennis is a menace with his ^E7 'anyone for tennis?' and bes^Ameeching me to come and keep the sc^C7ore. And M^Faud says, 'Oh Lord, I'm so ^Fm terribly bored. I r^Ceally can't st^Amand it anym^D7ore.'

^G7I'm going o^Cut to dinner with a g^E7orgeous singer to a l^Amittle place I found down by the q^C7uay, her n^Fame is Patricia, she c^Fmalls herself Delicia, and the r^Ceason ^Amisn't very hard to s^D7ee.^G

She says 'G^Cod made her a sinner just to keep f^E7at man thinner, as they t^Amumble down in heaps before her f^C7eet. They h^Fang around in groups like b^Fmattle weary troops, one can ^Coften see them qu^Ameue right down the str^D7eet.^G

You see, Patr^Ficia (or Delicia) not ^E7only is a singer, she a^Amlso removes all her cl^D7othing ^G7 - - - for Patr^Ficia is the b^Gest stripper in t^Co.^F..^C.wn.

And w^G7ith a sw^Cing of her hips she st^A7arted to strip, to trem^Dmendous applause she t^G7ook of her drawers, and with a l^Cick of her lips she und^A7id all her clips, and threw it ^Dmall in the air, e^Gverybody stared ! And as the l^Fast piece of clothing f^E7ell on the floor, the pol^Cice were banging on the d^A7oor, on a S^Dmaturday night in n^Gineteen-twenty- f^C...^Four.

B^G7ut p^Coor Patricia was arrested ^E7 and everyone detested the m^Amanner in which she was exp^C7osed. L^Fater on in court, well,^Fm everybody thought a su^Cmmer run in j^Amail would be prop^Dosed.^G

But the j^Fudge said, “Patrici^E7a, or may I say Delicia, ^Am the facts of this case lie ^D7 before me.^G7 Case dismissed ! Th^Fis girl was in her w^Gorking cl^Co.^F..^C..thes !!”

He ^Amfollowed a ^Clight and came ^Gdown to a ^Amshed, Where a ^Cmother and ^Gchild were lying ^Fthere on a ^Fbed^G, A ^Ambright light of ^Emsilver ^Fshone round his ^Amhead, And he ^Chad the ^Gface of an ^Fangel, and ^Fthey ^Gwere ^Amafraid.

Verse3:

Then the ^Amstranger spo^Cke, he ^Gsaid "Do not ^Amfear, I ^Ccome from a ^Gplanet a ^Flong way from ^Fher^Ge, And ^AmI bring a ^Emmessage for ^Fmankind to ^Amhear", And ^Csuddenly the ^Gsweetest ^Fmusic ^Ffilled ^Gthe ^Amair.

Verse4:

This ^Amlovely ^Cmusic went ^Gtrembling through the ^Amground, And ^Cmany were ^Gwakened on ^Fhearing that ^Fsound^G, And ^Amtravellers on the ^Emroad, the ^Fvillage they ^Amfound, By the ^Clight of that ^Gship in the ^Fsky, which ^Fshone ^Gall ^Amaround.

Verse5:

And ^Amjust before ^Cdawn at the ^Gpaling of the ^Amsky, The ^Cstranger re^Gturned and said ^F"Now I must ^Ffly^G, When ^Amtwo thousand ^Emyears of your ^Ftime has gone ^Amby, This ^Csong will be^Ggin once ag^Fain, to a ^Fba^Gbys ^Amcry". Final Chorus:

07. The Painter 4:20 Tabbed by: NBA96

I'd like you to meet my last qu^Eeen, Over th^F#ere large as l^Bife, She's been h^Eanging there for ^Aalmost a week, My p^F#oor late w^Bife,

Wh^Eat do think of the colour of her skin, It has the bloom of a r^Aose, You see she b^Eegged me to bring a certain painter in, And for that p^F#icture in her bedroom she would p^Bose,

Well ^Aafter a while he was driving me mad, ^E As you could well understand, ^F# Sitting in there, day after day, With my w^Bife in the palm of his hand,

It was "M^Eadam please do this and Madam please do that", You've never heard such displ^Bay,

But he didn't mind he was taking his time,

It was m^Ce that h^Dad to p^Eay,^B "Oh M^Eadam I think we should take a walk in the woods, You understand it's the l^Bight",

And did I mind, no, I was so kind when they,

Came b^Cack in the m^Diddle of the n^Eight, And I sw^Cear I'll take c^Dare of the p^Eainter,^A oh the p^Eainter,^A

^E Well as you can see it was hard for me, But something has to be d^Aone, She ^Eonly has eyes for him and his lies, and as for m^F#e, Not a glance, not a single ^Bone, My ^Aorders were severe and she disappeared, ^E It really was such a shame, And when they t^F#old me she was dead I broke down and said, "It's that p^Bainter, it's him, he's to blame,"

With his "M^Eadam please do this and Madam please do that", You've never heard such displ^Bay,

But he didn't mind he was taking his time,

It was m^Ce that h^Dad to p^Eay,^B "Oh M^Eadam I think we should take a walk in the woods, You understand it's the l^Bight",

And did I mind, no, I was so kind when they,

Came b^Cack in the m^Diddle of the n^Eight, And I h^Cope it's the r^Dope for the p^Eainter,^A When he's f^Cound, it's hellb^Dound for the^E painter,^A I'll get that p^Eainter.^A..

09. The Tower 5:22 Tabbed by: rogidez CAPO 5th - A beautiful ballad C - Cmaj7 - F - C

1. ^CA great lord came walking through the ^Cmaj7forest one morning with a w^Feapon in his h^Cand rich was his castle, ^Cmaj7he lacked for nothing k^Filling was his ^Gplan. When a ^Amwhite bird flew by, she f^Emell from the sky, ^F nothing was fou^Cnd, only bl^Dmood on the grou^Gnd, she was^C gone.

2. ^CCursing his fortune, he t^Cmaj7urned to the forest ^Fto kill once aga^Cin. ^CStanding before him was a ^Cmaj7lovely young woman with her ^Fhead hung in ^Gpain. When he ^Amsaw her, his eyes were ^Emfilled with desire, he s^Faid, "I must^C have her, ^Dmshe must be ^Gmine ! She will be ^Cmine !"

3. He o^Cffered her silver, he ^Cmaj7offered her gold, but she ^Fthrew it on the g^Cround. He fell^C to his knees and he^Cmaj7 begged her, "Oh please, come w^Fith me, what you wish will be ^Gfound." She said, ^Am"Sir, I'll go if you'll ^Emput up your bow, ^Fspare these ^Ccreatures, ^Dmleave them in p^Geace. You have no nee^Ed.”

But her ^Dmwords were ^Glost in the ^Cwind, his ^Feyes were ^Cfixed on a q^Gueen. A^Amnd all he saw was a ^Emwoman but ^Dmall she ^Gwas, was a d^Cream. A^Fh ah^G, ah^E ah^Am, l^Fa la la, la^C la la, la.^G

^G7 ^Am And all he saw was a ^Emwoman but ^Dmall she ^Gwas, was a ^Cdream.

4. ^CHe took her and bound her with ^Cmaj7ropes tied around her, to his ^Fcastle he did ^Cride. ^CIn a wood was a bower w^Cmaj7here stood an old tower, and he ^Fthrew her deep i^Gnside. Then the ^Ambirds left the sky and a ^Emterrible cry, brought ^Fthunder and light^Cning, ^Dmrain falling dow^Gn, tears on the ^Cground.

5. ^CAll through the days on her ^Cmaj7face he would gaze, for she was^F lovely as the ^Cspring. ^CNo words would she speak but, ?^Cmaj7??Leave them in peace!” And some ^Fsad lament she would ^Gsing.

Oh, one ^Amday by the door, at the ^Emwindow he saw a si^Fngle white ^Cfeather ^Dmlying on the ^Gfloor : She was there no ^Cmore.

6. Now^G that ^Cgreat lord is dying, his ^Cmaj7cold heart is crying, for the ^Flove of a^C girl, ^Cfor many an hour he has ^Cmaj7wept on the tower, for she ^Fmeant more than the ^Gworld. But ^Amonce in the sky a ^Emwhite bird flew by, he ^Flifted his han^Cds, he ^Dmcried out in pa^Gin : “Come back a^Egain !”

But his ^Dmwords were ^Glost in the win^Cd, his ^Fcastle was ^Cbuilt upon s^Gand. ^AmAll he has is a^Em memory, and^Dm all he y^Gearns is her ^Chand. A^Fh ah^G, ah^E ah^Am, l^Fa la la, la^C la la, la.^G
