Madness Waiting For The Ghost Train
Album: Utter Madness
Year: 1986
UK No 18
Tabbed by Jack Delonge
[Intro]
Fm G Fm G
[Verse 1]
D#m F
A straw headed woman, and a barrel chested man,
D#m F
A pocket full of posies with a hat brim full of sand,
F# D#m F
Ooh - waiting for the train that never comes,
[Verse 2]
D#m F
A dog chasing the tumbleweeds, across the sandy floor,
D#m F
That drift along the platform, through the ticket office door,
F# D#m F
Ooh - waiting for the train that never comes,
F# F
Ooh - waiting for the train that never comes,
G Am C F Am
But don't tell me there's nothing coming, you don't fool me,
G Am C F
I hear the ghost train rumbling along the tracks - set them free,
G# G
And I hear them,
[Chorus]
C Gm F G
It's black and white don't try to hide,
C Gm F G
It's black and white don't try to hide,
Fm G Fm G
[Verse 3]
D#m F
The station master's writing with a piece of orange chalk,
D#m F
A hundred cancellations, still no one wants to walk,
D#m F
Keep the hungry children from the skeletons in the back,
D#m F
Paid to keep an eye out for the gipsy caravan,
F# D#m F
Ooh - waiting for the train that never comes,
F# D#m C# C B
Ooh - waiting for the train that never comes,
D#m Fm Gm G#
G Am C F
I hear the ghost train rumbling along the tracks - set them free,
G# G
And I hear them,
C Gm F G
It's black and white don't try to hide,
C Gm F G
It's black and white don't try to hide,
C Gm F G
It's black and white don't try to hide,
C Gm F G
It's black and white don't try to hide,
Eb F
It's black and white (don't try),
Eb F
It's black and white (don't try),
C Gm F G
It's black and white don't try to hide,
C Gm F G
It's black and white don't try to hide,
G#
And I hear them,
C Gm F G
It's black and white don't try to hide,
C Gm F G
It's black and white don't try to hide,
