What I will mean by the F# riff is just:
e|----------------------|
B|----------------------|
G|----------------------| (this is just the F# note being repeated over
D|----------------------|  and over again, of course)
A|----------------------|
E|-2-2-2--2-2--2-2--2-2-|
F#* = play F# riff [Intro] F#* [Verse 1]
F#*
Smoke lingers 'round your fingers

F#*
Train, heave on to Euston

       B5                    E5                   F#*
Do you think you've made the right decision this time?

  B5      E5       F#*   F#*
Aaahhh, aaahh, aaahhh...
[Verse 2]
F#*
Left your tired family grieving

        F#*
And you think they're said because you're leaving

                       B5                          E5                     F#*
But didn't you see the jealousy in the eyes of the ones who had to stay behind

           B5                    E5                   F#*   F#*
And do you think you've made the right decision this time?
[Verse 3]
    F#*
You left your girlfriend on the platform

          F#*
With this really ragged notion that you'll return

         B5                  E5
But she knows that when he goes

            F#*
He really goes

           B5                    E5                   F#*
And do you think you've made the right decision this time?
