Capo 7th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

C C/B G G G F♯ Em

 The Clast C/Btrain is Gnearly due, the GunderGgrF♯ound is Emclosing soon,

 And Cin the C/Bdark deGserted station, GrestlessG iF♯n antEmicipation,

 A Cman waits C/Bin the Gshadows. G G F♯ Em

 His Crestless C/Beyes Gleap and scratch, at Gall that GthF♯ey can Emtouch or catch,

 And Chidden C/Bdeep withGin his pocket, Gsafe wiGthF♯in his Emsilent socket,

 He Cholds a C/Bcoloured Gcrayon. G G F♯ Em

 Now Cfrom the C/Btunnel's Gstony womb, the Gcarriage GriF♯des to Emmeet the groom,

 And Copens C/Bwide and Gwelcome doors, but he GhesiGtaF♯tes, Emthen withdraws

 DCeeper C/Bin the Gshadows. Em

 And the Emtrain is gone suddenly, on Dwheels clicking silently

 Like a Cgently tapping litAmany, and he Emholds his crayon Amrosary

 TCighter in his Ghand. Em

 Now Cfrom his C/Bpocket Gquick he flashes, the GcrayonG oF♯n the Emwall he slashes,

 DCeep uC/Bpon the Gadvertising, a Gsingle-GwoF♯rded Empoem comprised of

 FCourC/B lettGers. G G F♯ Em

 And his Cheart is lC/Baughing, Gscreaming, pounding,

  G [G/f#] Em

The poem across the tracks rebounding,

 SChadowed C/Bby the Gexit light, his Glegs take GthF♯eir asEmcending flight

  C C/B G [G/f#] C G

To seek the breast of darkness and be suckled by the night.
