Night Train To Lorca - As performed by The Pogues

Intro: A Bb A Bb (2x)

A

Across the dark and dusty plain

C

Where scars of old dry rivers run

D

Night unfolds, a coal black shroud

F

Across the hard and stony ground

A

Distant stars shining bright

Bb

In the cavern of the night

D

All is still and silence screams

C

To the 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

C

Grow 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 A

And lay your fears to rest

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
