Biography:
Al Stewart (born in Glasgow, Scotland on 5 September 1945) is a British songwriter and musician. He is best known for his 1976 single Year of the Cat and its 1978 follow-up Time Passages (both produced by Alan Parsons). Stewart's inspiration for his songs primarily comes from the past; indeed, he is credited with creating his own genre, "historical folk rock". At one time in his life, Stewart took guitar lessons from King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp.

Intro: D
Verse/chorus
------------
D G A D
When we came to the station, all the trains were rusty
G D A
The doors were open and the windows broken in
D G A D
There was grass in all the cracks and the air hung musty
G D G A
The travel posters were flapping in the wind
Bm A G
So we moved through the dust and gloom
Bm A G
Playing waiting games in the waiting room
Bm A G Em7 Asus4 A
Lay our sleeping bags out on the floor.
D A G A
And on Sunday morning easy rider
Bm A G D
Comes to me with apple cider
G A D ---> G A D ---> next verse or
Leaves me here without a place to go. ---> bridge

F# F#7 Bm F#7 Bm F#7 Bm
Any railway station would be just fine, fine, fine
G A D
To settle down and wash the cobwebs from your head
F# F#7 Bm F#7 Bm F#7 Bm
If your situation's running dry, dry, dry
Em G G/A ---> next verse
Find a waiting room beneath the stars to make your bed.
