Well once I knew a railway girl
C G C C
Her age was seventeen
C G F C
I gave her all I had to give
C G F F
But the baggage of my dreams
C G F C
Stole me from the games we played
C G F F
Scorned me for my mast
C G F C
And if she's gone she lingers on
C G C C
I beg you please don't ask
C G F C
T'was on her dark March evening
C G C C
Southbound I did ride
C G F
My head was out the window
C C G F F
When I found her at my side
C G F C
Asked where I was going to
C G F F
I told but where I came
C G F C
For the jails in which I've done my time
C G C C
I fail hard to regain
C G F C
Dark girl, dark girl it kills me so
C G C C
To watch you so afraid
C G F C
You know that you've been real to those
C G F F
When realness should be feigned
C G F C
Her eyes gone wide, "Alive," she cried
C G F F
Does pleasure ever last?
C G F C
We live to see, but patiently
C G C C
I beg you please don't ask
D A G D
She took me in despite my sins
D A D D
Fed me tea and such
D A G D
And as she fell just like a child
D A G G
I crumbled 'neath her touch
D A G D
I held my breath in fear to weep
D A G G
For the fragments of my brain
D A G D
See each day's but a moment that
D A D D
I fail hard to regain
D A G D
But as it goes the people it throws
D A D D
Our values to the street
D A G D
Whole world came and saint's gaze
D A G G
Impatience in his feet
D A G D
And captives of this paltry trade
D A G G
We curse our mortal past
D A G D
Forgive us though we all must go
D A D D
And where to please don't ask

C G F C
And now I am a misspent man
C G C C
Who knows not where he's been
C G F C
And though so sapped with suffering
C G F F
The worst is yet unseen
C G F C
Renounce myself for further wealth
C G F F
I take each breath in vain
C G F C
Still haunted by that railway girl
C G C C
I fail hard to regain
