Chords

From the album Songbook [Intro] D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D x4 [Verse 1]
        D
In the dawn's early light

        G                    D
From a long and a sleepless night

                         Em
She returned again this morning

          C                  A
From her long and restless flight

        D
And my red hollow eyes

          G                D
Did not show her much surprise

                         Em
As she lay right down beside me

          C              A
Like she never said goodbye
[Chorus]
        D                D7
Please help me, station master

       G                 G7
Is the evening train on time?

     A                 A7
The well's run dry up yonder

          G      C        D
There's another down the line
[Interlude] D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D x2 [Verse 2]
        D
It was all I could bear

         G                D
Just to watch her lying there

                      Em
Disowned and ragged princess

          C                 A
With the sun locked in her hair

    D
So cold, so frail

          G                D
With her mind locked in a jail

                  Em
The victim of confusion

        C                A
Never knowing she could fail
[Chorus]
        D                D7
Please help me, station master

       G                 G7
Is the evening train on time?

     A                 A7
The well's run dry up yonder

          G      C        D
There's another down the line
[Interlude] D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D x2 D G D A D [Verse 3]
      D
So I rocked her to sleep

        G            D
Then I got up on my feet

                             Em
And the day was filled with sunshine

      C                  A
As I gazed across the street

         D
And the door seemed to say

      G               D
Over here, step this way

                     Em
The station is for travelers

      C                 A
Even you must ride someday
[Chorus]
        D                D7
Please help me, station master

       G                 G7
Is the evening train on time?

     A                 A7
The well's run dry up yonder

          G      C        D
There's another down the line

        D                D7
Please help me, station master

        G               G7
Can I stay for just a while?

    A              A7
Forgive me if I'm weary

         G      F                D
I ain't had much, much time to smile
