G
Ah, one, two ... (break)[Verse]
Cadd9 A7sus4 She was counting out the window of an outbound train G All the poles of the telegraph Cadd9 A7sus4 And the rock-a-bye rhythm in the song of the rails G Cadd9 Couldn't make the sweeper laugh
[Bridge]
Bm Am Down, down, down, so deep Bm D Down, down, drowning in his sleep
[Chorus]
C Am G | G | Tommy's coming home again
(break) (build up)
[Verse]
Cadd9 A7sus4 And a hawk hovered high above a skinny jackrabbit G Pursued by a hungry fox Cadd9 A7sus4 And a broker awoke her from a fitful slumber G Cadd9 Consulted his shares and his stocks
[Bridge]
Bm Am Down, down, down, they go Bm D Down down - how he'll never know
[Chorus]
C Am G Tommy's coming home again C Am Em And it's almost April Fools' Day
[Verse]
Cadd9 A7sus4 As he glanced on his paper looking through the veil G He could see she was really upset Cadd9 A7sus4 As she tucked back the ribbon in a velvet box G Cadd9 As he offered her a cigarette
[Bridge]
Bm Am Down, down, down, she took a drag Bm D Now he's covered in a flag
[Chorus]
C Am G Tommy's coming home again C Am Em And it's almost April Fools' Day
[Middle 8]
G Cadd9 G Almost April Fools' Day Cadd9 G And the joke's on everyone Bm Em He had that premonition A D Only dead men dwell upon
[Verse]
Cadd9 A7sus4 Well, how could he know that only twelve months later G She would wear her skirt up over her knee Cadd9 A7sus4 And in the very same carriage she'd be flattened with roses G Cadd9 And forget the tears of bigotry
[Bridge]
Bm Am Down, down, down, they flow Bm D Down, down, down - it just don't matter anymore
[Chorus]
C Am G Tommy's made it home again C Am Em When it was almost April Fools' Day
[[Middle 8]
G Cadd9 G Almost April Fools' Day Cadd9 G And the joke's on everyone Bm Em He had that premonition A D Only dead men dwell upon
[Coda]
C Am G Tommy's coming home again C Am G Tommy's coming home again C Am G Tommy's coming home
