on the Manchester Express train
A
D
G
when an old man came and sat
down
D
who was obviously insane.
A
Bm
He was talking to himself
G
Bm
in a very funny way
G
Bm
and all the other people, one by one,
F#m
G
A
D
decided not to stay till eventually just
G
D
A
he and I were sitting all alone
D
G
Because I was interested in
D
when, on his own, he said,
What's it all about?
A
D
I often wonder.
A
G
A
D
And why on earth is everybody here?
A
D
Sometimes pressure is enough
A
D
to drive me under.
A
G
A
And like everyone, I'm so afraid of fear.
Bm
G
All the world is getting hotter,
A
oh it's much too much to stand,
A
D
very melancholy man.
G
The conductor came for tickets,
D
A
but he didn't stay too long,

in fact he swung around and

went out
A
when he realised what was wrong.
Bm
G
Then the geezer coughed and wheezed a bit,
Bm
complained about the cold,
G

F#m
suggested putting on his overcoat,
G
and mourned his getting old.
A

Soon he paused in his soliloquy.
D

He paused and scratched his head,
D

then, assured of total privacy,
D
said, What's it all about,
A

I often wonder
A

And why on earth
A

is everybody here?
A

Sometimes pressure is enough
A

to drive me under
A

And like everyone,

G
All the world is getting hotter
A
Oh, it's much too much to stand
D
G
That's why I'm such a very,
D
A
and letting out a sigh
D
And I knew with sudden certainty
G
D
A
the man was going to die
Bm
I rushed out into the corridor
G

and I fell from side to side
G

As I ran to the conductor
F#m
G
A
with his big mouth gaping wide
Well, between us,
D

the poor old man was dead
What's it all about?

That's why I'm such a very,
