Lindisfarne - Kings Cross Blues
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO (fade in):] C  
[VERSE 1:]
Early train starts on time
GEverybody else is feeling fine
Reading the papers and studying the form
And the Fpeople just taking this as Cnorm
[VERSE 2:]
Except Gme
FI don't seem to function 'til at least a quarter-to-Cthree
Stare at the Gfloor
FI don't want to take this Kings Cross train no Cmore
[VERSE 3:]
I'm drinking whiskey at the bar
GCan't afford the dining car
Ruddy faced soldiers drink and curse
FFind themselves out if it gets much Cworse
[VERSE 4:]
Grates on Gme
'Cause FI don't even share the same philosoCphy
Leaving the Gbar
Well, I Fwish that Kings Cross station didn't have to be so Cfar

Kings Cross BbbluesF____C__
[VERSE 5:]
Well, taking this journey to the South
GTo find work to feed the extra mouth
Find it hard, I to have to say
'Cause Fthey don't talk the same Cway
[VERSE 6:]
Grates on Gme
Well, FI don't even share the same philosoCphy
Leaving the Gbar
Oh, Fwish that Kings Cross station didn't have to be so Cfar
