[Intro]
G G
[Verse]
G C
Mornings feel so damn sad these days
F C G
Without the call of the eight-fifteen.
G C
That old familiar echo has finally died away
F C G
Leaving nothing but a chill where there once was a mighty scream.
[Chorus]
C G
And I've watched the flat cars take away our timber.
C G
I've watched the coal cars steal our rock.
Am Em
And now that we've got nothing left to take we're told
F C
That the wheels will stop turning, the whistles will stop blowing,
C Em7 Em G
That this foolish dream must stop.
[Verse]
G C
Last year they closed down the post office,
F C G
Took the only flag we had in town.
G C
That old brick building still stands like a cenotaph
F C G
To a vision lost and buried in a very distant past.
[Chorus]
C G
And I've watched the flat cars take away our timber.
C G
I've watched the coal cars steal our rock.
Am Em
And now that we've got nothing left to take we're told
F C
That the wheels will stop turning, the whistles will stop blowing,
C Em7 Em G
That this foolish dream must stop.
[Bridge]
Dm Am C G
The longest train I've ever seen was the train that you were on.
Dm Am C G
I walked you to the station, we kissed and you were gone.
