D#m                         F
A straw headed woman, and a barrel chested man,

D#m                            F
A pocket full of posies with a hat brim full of sand,

F#                                      D#m     F
Ooh - waiting for the train that never comes,
[Verse 2]
D#m                            F
A dog chasing the tumbleweeds, across the sandy floor,

D#m                                        F
That drift along the platform, through the ticket office door,

F#                                      D#m     F
Ooh - waiting for the train that never comes,

F#                                      F
Ooh - waiting for the train that never comes,

G                         Am                  C          F              Am
But don't tell me there's nothing coming, you don't fool me,

G          Am                             C                 F
I hear the ghost train rumbling along the tracks - set them free,

G#                G
And I hear them,
[Chorus]
               C           Gm     F         G
It's black and white don't try to hide,

               C           Gm     F         G
It's black and white don't try to hide,
Fm G Fm G [Verse 3]
D#m                                 F
The station master's writing with a piece of orange chalk,

D#m                      F
A hundred cancellations, still no one wants to walk,

D#m                               F
Keep the hungry children from the skeletons in the back,

D#m                             F
Paid to keep an eye out for the gipsy caravan,

F#                                      D#m     F
Ooh - waiting for the train that never comes,

F#                                      D#m     C#      C       B
Ooh - waiting for the train that never comes,
