Verse:
The Emtime I think most clearly
The Gtime I drift away
Is on the Ambusride that meanders
Up these Cvalleys of green and gCmaj7rey
I Emget to think about what might have been
And Gwhat may yet come true
And I Amget to pass these rainy miles
CThinking of yCmaj7ou
CAnd all the while, all the while
IEm7 still hear that call
from the Cland of gold and poison
that bEm7eckons to us all
EmNothing changes here very much
You Gused to say it never will
The Ampubs are all full on friday nights
And Cthings get started sCmaj7till
You spend Emhours last week with Billy-boy
Bleeding, yeah Gqueuing in casualty
AmStare at those posters we used to laugh at in heaven neverland
Cpalmtrees by the sCmaj7ea
CThere was no need for these guys to hurt him so bad
When all they Em7had to do was knock him down
But no one Casks too many questions, not anymore
Em7since you left this town
Chorus:
And toGmorrow brings aDnother train
Another Bmyoung brave steals aCway
But yGou're the one I reDmember
From these vBmalleys of the green and the gCrey
Verse:
You Emused to talk about winners and losers all the time
As if Gthat was all there was
As Amif we were not of the same blood family
As Cif we live by different laCmaj7ws
Do you Emowe so much less to these rain swept hills
Than you Gowe to your good self?
Is it Amtrue that the world has always got to be
Something that seems to happen Csomewhere Cmaj7else?
Oh, for Cgod sake don't you realize
That Em7I still hear that call?
Do you think you're Cso brave to just go running
To that which Em7beckons to us all?
Chorus:
And toGmorrow brings aDnother train
Another Bmyoung brave steals aCway
But yGou're the one I reDmember
From these vBmalleys of the green and the gCrey
No, not for one Emsecond did you look behind you
As Gyou were walking away
Never Amonce did you wish any of us well
CThose who had chosen to stay
And if Emthat's what it takes to make it
In the Gplace where you live today
Then GI guess you'll never read these lDetters that I've sent
From the Bmvalleys of the green and tChe grey
VBmalleys of the gAmreen and the gEmrey
