     C      G      F       C
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
