***NIGHT TRAIN TO LORCA - written by Jem Finer from the album "Peace And Love" Night Train To Lorca - As performed by The Pogues Intro: A Bb A Bb (2x)
A
Across the dark and dusty plain

      C
Where scars of old dry rivers run

D
Night unfolds, a coal black shroud

 F
Across the hard and stony ground

A
Distant stars shining bright

Bb
In the cavern of the night

D
All is still and silence screams

       C
To the thunder of the Lorca train

A
Flaming steal swift as wind

C
Wires hum the rails ring

D
Smokestack burning fiery sparks

F
Rise up to the stars

A
Towns asleep by empty roads

Bb
Churches rise from crooked roofs

D
Cloaked in darkness nothing stirs

     C
Grow smaller darker disappear

F
See the moon so still and cold

D
A million stars that shed no warmth

A
Your nightmares all come out to play

C
In the silver light

F
Wait for sunrise in the east

D
Long shadows crawl across the plain

A
The ghosts of night will disappear

C                          A
And lay your fears to rest
A Bb A C (2x) A C D F A Bb D C
Bm
Steam hissed up, the hot coals glowed

D
The furnace blazed, the wheels they rolled

Em
On tracks of iron, straight and cold

G
The silver moonlight danced

Bm
The flames are in the fireman's eye

C
Orange in the engines glow

Em
Gleaming pistons whirling cranks

D
Wait for dawn the rooster's crow

G
See the moon so still and cold

Em
A million stars that shed no warmth

Bm
Your nightmares all come out to play

D
In the silver light

G
Wait for sunrise in the east

Em
Long shadows crawl across the plain

Bm
The ghosts of night will disappear

D
And lay your fears to rest
