The Coroners Footnote Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

GThere's a girl leaving town for the Csunshine

 She's Gheading out to Happiness DBay

 She's Ggoing first thing in the Cmorning

 And Ghopes to be D7there by midGday

 Her flavoursome buck is awCaiting

GLaden with fraudulent Dcharms

 EnoGugh for to plunge a Cdoe such as she

 Straight Ginto his D7dastardly Garms

 But the Dtragedy lies in the Gbackground

 For a Dyoung man by Amwhom she's adDored

 Is Gplanning to throw himself Cunder

 The Gtrain she's intD7ending to Gboard.

V2.

Now the fates may look down and show mercy

And answer a poor mother's call

And the service soon after departing

May stop for no reason at all

And the young girl may come to her senses

And the wretch may get tetchy and leave

And the chap wracked with anguish incarnate

May gladly accept his reprieve

But the fates around these parts are ruthless

And sometimes just want people dead

So he'll probably throw himself under

The ten twenty seven instead.

V3.

Now the engine is leaving the station

The cow has been scraped from the line

And two letters by way of explanation

Have been written for those left behind

And should there develop high drama

Upon which an inquest is heard

You may like to curb your lamenting

Until you've all heard the last word

Well he thought of a love unrequited

And he thought of a life full of pain

It's a pity he didn't spare a thought for

The poor bastard driving the train.
