Key: Bb major
Verse 1
E
B
E
At suburban
railway stations,
There are signboards on the platform
saying, wait here, second class
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
And the second class are waiting,
they've been waiting ever since
Yet they wait beneath
B
E
B
E
nearing second class, wait here
I have waited in the winter,
When the asphalt platform
glistened underneath that lonely lamp
snarling,
B
E
second -class wait here
Out beyond a further suburb
near a chimney stack alone
with a platform of their own
B
E
B
E
telling all my hopes to stay
Oh, man must feel revengeful
God, I hate the fairy houses
Near the workshop by the line
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
There will be no glass compartments
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
E
B
E
saying second class wait here
