Second Class, Wait Here chords by
Slim Dusty
Slim Dusty

N/A
Verse 1
G
D
G

At suburban

railway stations,
D

you may see them as you pass

There are signboards on the platform

saying, wait here, second class
G

And to me the whir and thunder

and the clunk of running gear
C
G

Seem to be forever a saying,
D
G

saying, second class, wait here

Yes, the second class were waiting
D

in the days of serf and prince

And the second class are waiting,

they've been waiting ever since
G

There are gardens in the background
C

and the line is bare and drear

Yet they wait beneath
G

the signboards,
D
G
D
G

nearing second class, wait here

I have waited in the winter,
D

in the mornings dark and damp

When the asphalt platform

glistened underneath that lonely lamp
G

And the wind among the poplars
C

and the wires that thread the air
G

Seemed to be forever snarling,

snarling,
D
G

second -class wait here

Out beyond a further suburb

near a chimney stack alone
D

Lay the works of grinder brothers

with a platform of their own
G

And I waited there and suffered,
C

waited there for many a day
G

Slave beneath a fandom signboard
D
G
D
G

telling all my hopes to stay

Oh, man must feel revengeful
D

For a boyhood such as mine

God, I hate the fairy houses

Near the workshop by the line
G

And the smell of railway stations

And the roar of running gear
C
G

And the scornful sneering signboard
D
G

Saying, second class, wait here

There's a train with death for driver
D

that is ever going past

There will be no glass compartments
G

when it's all aboard at last

For the long white Jasper platform

with an Eden in the rear
C
G

And there won't be any sign board
D
G

saying second class wait here
D

Oh no, there won't be any sign board
G
D
G

saying second class wait here

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
