Verse 1
(G major) Mornings feel so damn (C major) sad
these days (F major)
Without the (C major) call of the (G major) 8:15
That old familiar echo
Has (C major) finally died away
(F major) Leaving nothing but a (C major) chill
Where there (G major) once was a mighty scream
Verse 2
(C major) And I've watched the flat cars
(G major) Take away our timber
(C major) I've watched the coal cars steal our (G major) rock
(A minor) And now that we've got
(E minor) Nothing left to take we're told
That the (F major) wheels will stop turning,
(C major) The whistles will stop blowing,
These (G major) foolish dreams (E minor) must stop
(G major)

Verse 3
Last year they closed down
(C major) the post office, (F major)
Took the (C major) only flag we had in (G major) town
That old brick building
Still stands (C major) like a cenotaph
(F major) To a vision lost (C major) and buried in
(G major) A very distant past
Verse 4
(C major) And I've watched the flat cars
(G major) Take away our timber
(C major) I've watched the coal cars steal our (G major) rock
(A minor) And now that we've got
(E minor) Noth ing left to take we're told
That the (F major) wheels will stop turning,
(C major) The whistles will stop blowing,
These (G major) foolish dreams must stop
Verse 5
The (D minor) longest train I've (A minor) ever seen
Was the (C major) train that you were (G major) on
I walked (D minor) you to the sta (A minor) tion,
We (C major) kissed and you were (G major) gone
I (F major) dream at night about (B flat major) you coming (A major) home
(E major) The train in the station,
(G major) Your uniform on fire
As you step (D major) onto the platform
The (C major) band plays a little louder,
(B minor) And as (A minor) we embrace your cap falls (G major) off
Oh, (A minor) I guess these fool (C major) ish
dreams must stop
(G major)
Verse 6
Mornings feel so damn (C major) sad
these days (F major)
Without the (C major) call of the (G major) 8:15
Looks like this town is (C major) fi nally
Going to die away
(F major) Leaving nothing but (C major) broken
promises
Where there (G major) once was small town dreams
Verse 7
(C major) And I've watched the flat cars
(G major) Take away our timber
(C major) I've watched the coal cars steal our (G major) rock
(A minor) And now that we've got
(E minor) Noth ing left to take we're told
That the (F major) TV station will be closing,
Main Street (C major) windows will need boarding,
That these (G major) foolish dream (A major) s must stop
