NIGHT TRAIN TO LORCA - written by Jem Finer
from the album "Peace And Love"
Night Train To Lorca - As performed by The Pogues
Intro: A Bb A Bb (2x)
[A]Across the dark and dusty plain
Where [C]scars of old dry rivers run
[D]Night unfolds, a coal black shroud
A[F]cross the hard and stony ground
[A]Distant stars shining bright
[Bb]In the cavern of the night
[D]All is still and silence screams
To the [C]thunder of the Lorca train
[A]Flaming steal swift as wind
[C]Wires hum the rails ring
[D]Smokestack burning fiery sparks
[F]Rise up to the stars
[A]Towns asleep by empty roads
[Bb]Churches rise from crooked roofs
[D]Cloaked in darkness nothing stirs
Grow [C]smaller darker disappear
[F]See the moon so still and cold
[D]A million stars that shed no warmth
[A]Your nightmares all come out to play
[C]In the silver light
[F]Wait for sunrise in the east
[D]Long shadows crawl across the plain
[A]The ghosts of night will disappear
[C]And lay your fears to rest[A]
A Bb A C (2x)
[A] [C] [D] [F] [A] [Bb] [D] [C]
[Bm]Steam hissed up, the hot coals glowed
[D]The furnace blazed, the wheels they rolled
[Em]On tracks of iron, straight and cold
[G]The silver moonlight danced
[Bm]The flames are in the fireman's eye
[C]Orange in the engines glow
[Em]Gleaming pistons whirling cranks
[D]Wait for dawn the rooster's crow
[G]See the moon so still and cold
[Em]A million stars that shed no warmth
[Bm]Your nightmares all come out to play
[D]In the silver light
[G]Wait for sunrise in the east
[Em]Long shadows crawl across the plain
[Bm]The ghosts of night will disappear
[D]And lay your fears to rest
