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

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
