[A] Saw the railway [Bm] master and [F#m] looked him in the [C#] eye
[C#m] He [D] said, would you go [A] much faster if [G] you thought that you [D] would die?
[A] He said, not me sir, I could not [F#m] care, the actor [C#m] would not try
A [D] protest would not [A] take me far, [G] which different me not [D] feel the star
[B] Lock my feelings in a jar, [D] till [A] another day
Oh [E] [A] comfort me dear [Bm] brother, would you [F#m] tell me what [C#] you know?
[C#m]
[D] Somewhere in [A] this painful world [G] is a place where [D] I can go
[A] Oh long awaited [Bm] mother, is it [F#m] time to make a [C#m] show?
[D] And take your babies [A] to your breast, [G] though we [D] never pass the test
[B] All our sins should be confessed, before we [A] carry on
No,
[E] don't [Bm] refuse me, if [G] you choose me you'll [A] fall on my shame
[E] No, [Bm] don't confuse me, [G] for I know [D] it's the name [A] of the game
[E] [D] [A] God I've lost my [Bm] pillow, and [F#m] I looked up at [C#m] the sun
[D] Since you can see quite clearly now, [G] the things that we have [D] done
We have [A] burned your sacred [Bm] willow, and our [F#m] battles we have [C#m] won
But [D] did we get [A] so very far, [G] which different me [D] not feel the star
[B] Lock my feelings in a jar, [D] till they go [A] away
[E] No, [Bm] don't refuse me, [G] if you choose [D] me you'll fall [A] on my shame
[E] No, [Bm] don't confuse me, [G] for I know [D] it's the name [A] of the game
[E] Oh, [Bm] don't refuse me, if you [G] choose me you'll fall [A] on my shame
