Tonart: Bb major
Verse 1
F
C
F
At suburban
railway stations,
C
you may see them as you pass
There are signboards on the platform
saying, wait here, second class
F
And to me the whir and thunder
and the clunk of running gear
Bb
F
Seem to be forever a saying,
C
F
saying, second class, wait here
Yes, the second class were waiting
C
in the days of serf and prince
And the second class are waiting,
they've been waiting ever since
F
There are gardens in the background
Bb
and the line is bare and drear
Yet they wait beneath
C
F
C
F
nearing second class, wait here
I have waited in the winter,
C
in the mornings dark and damp
When the asphalt platform
glistened underneath that lonely lamp
F
And the wind among the poplars
Bb
and the wires that thread the air
F
Seemed to be forever snarling,
snarling,
C
F
second -class wait here
Out beyond a further suburb
near a chimney stack alone
C
Lay the works of grinder brothers
with a platform of their own
F
And I waited there and suffered,
Bb
waited there for many a day
F
Slave beneath a fandom signboard
C
F
C
F
telling all my hopes to stay
Oh, man must feel revengeful
C
For a boyhood such as mine
God, I hate the fairy houses
Near the workshop by the line
F
And the smell of railway stations
And the roar of running gear
Bb
F
And the scornful sneering signboard
C
F
Saying, second class, wait here
There's a train with death for driver
C
that is ever going past
There will be no glass compartments
F
when it's all aboard at last
For the long white Jasper platform
with an Eden in the rear
Bb
F
And there won't be any sign board
C
F
saying second class wait here
C
Oh no, there won't be any sign board
F
C
F
saying second class wait here
