Pogues - Night train to lorca

^AAcross the dark and dusty plain Where ^Cscars of old dry rivers run ^DNight unfolds, a coal black shroud A^Fcross the hard and stony ground ^ADistant stars shining bright ^BbIn the cavern of the night ^DAll is still and silence screams To the ^Cthunder of the Lorca train

^AFlaming steal swift as wind ^CWires hum the rails ring ^DSmokestack burning fiery sparks ^FRise up to the stars ^ATowns asleep by empty roads ^BbChurches rise from crooked roofs ^DCloaked in darkness nothing stirs Grow ^Csmaller darker disappear

^FSee the moon so still and cold ^DA million stars that shed no warmth ^AYour nightmares all come out to play ^CIn the silver light ^FWait for sunrise in the east ^DLong shadows crawl across the plain ^AThe ghosts of night will disappear ^CAnd lay your fears to rest ^A

^BmSteam hissed up, the hot coals glowed ^DThe furnace blazed, the wheels they rolled ^EmOn tracks of iron, straight and cold ^GThe silver moonlight danced ^BmThe flames are in the fireman's eye ^COrange in the engines glow ^EmGleaming pistons whirling cranks ^DWait for dawn the rooster's crow

^GSee the moon so still and cold ^EmA million stars that shed no warmth ^BmYour nightmares all come out to play ^DIn the silver light ^GWait for sunrise in the east ^EmLong shadows crawl across the plain ^BmThe ghosts of night will disappear ^DAnd lay your fears to rest 2X
