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