Second Class, Wait Here chords by Slim Dusty

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