***NIGHT TRAIN TO LORCA - written by Jem Finer
from the album "Peace And Love"
Night Train To Lorca - As performed by The Pogues
Intro: A   Bb   A   Bb(2x)
AAcross the dark and dusty plain
Where Cscars of old dry rivers run
DNight unfolds, a coal black shroud
AFcross 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 restA  
A   Bb   A   C(2x)
A C D F A Bb D C
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
