[Verse 1]
Em
Spine-tingling railway sleepers
G A5 C Em
Sleepy houses lying four-square and firm
Em
Orange beams divide the darkness
G A5 C Em
Rumbling fit to turn the waking worm
Am
Sliding through Victorian tunnels
Am C D Em
Where green moss oozes from the pores
Am
Dull echoes from the wet embankments
Am G B Em
Battlefield allotments, fresh open sores
[Verse 2]
Em
In late night commuter madness
G A5 C Em
Double-locked black briefcase on the floor
Em
Like a faithful dog with master
G A5 C Em
Sleeping in the draught beside the carriage door
Am
To each Journeyman his own home-coming
Am C D Em
Cold supper nearing with each station stop
Am
Frosty flakes on empty platforms
Am G B Em
Fireside slippers waiting, flip, flop
[Chorus 1]
B A B A
Journeyman night-tripping on the late fantastic
B A B A Dsus2
Too late to stop for tea at Gerard's Cross
Em
And hear the soft shoes on the footbridge shuffle
G A5 C Em
As the wheels turn biting on the midnight frost
[Verse 3]
Em
On the late commuter special
G A5 C Em
Carriage lights that flicker, fade and die
Em
Howling into hollow blackness
G A5 C Em
Dusky diesel shudders in full cry
Am
Down redundant morning papers
Am C D Em
Abandon crosswords with a cough
Am
Stationmaster in his wisdom
Am G B Em
Told the guards to turn the heating off
[Chorus 2]
B A B A
Journeyman night-tripping on the late fantastic
B A B A Dsus2
Too late to stop for tea at Gerard's Cross
Em
And hear the soft shoes on the footbridge shuffle
G A5 C Em
As the wheels turn biting on the midnight frost
