No Brass Band
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
Dm G C
Dm G C
[Verse 1]
Dm C
The train whistle blew for Coal Road Crossin'
Dm
In a few more minutes
C
We'll pull into town
Dm C
I'll have to face the folks who'll come to meet us
Dm G
I'll try to keep the tears from falling down
Dm C
It won't be the way we always had it pictured
Dm C
The day me and Daddy went away
Dm C
He told 'em we'll come back so rich and famous
Dm G
And you'll have a big brass band all set to play
[Chorus]
F Em
But there'll be no brass band at the station
F Em
There'll be no smiles and no celebration
F
For daddy
C Em
There'll just be a black hearse waiting
F C
And no brass band at the station
[Verse 2]
Dm C
We left two years ago come next September
Dm C
The letters I wrote were full of lies
Dm C
For me and Daddy never hit the big time
Dm G
We got our meals down in a welfare line
Dm C
Daddy met up with some men who planned a robbery
Dm
They said with daddy's brains
C
He'd go real far
Dm C
But he never got beyond the first Colt bullet
Dm G
Now Daddy's in a pinebox in the baggage car
[Chorus]
F Em
But there'll be no brass band at the station
F Em
There'll be no smiles and no celebration
F
For daddy
C Em
There'll just be a black hearse waiting
F C
And no brass band at the station
F C
And no brass band at the station
