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