Adam Stephens (voz armónica y guitarra ) & Tyson Vogel (batería y voz) son Two Galants . Su nombre se lo deben a un relato de odio y asco sobre la condición humana incluido en “Los Dublineses “ de James Joyce.
Y de Irlanda llega una de las influencias para definir el discurso de los de San Francisco. Si The Pogues se enfrentaban de forma irreverente al cancionero Irlandés, ellos hacen lo mismo con la antología completa de música folk compilada por Harry Smith.

The intro and the last two lines of each verse are palm muted.
CGFC CCGC CGFC CGCC
CGFC Well once I knew a railway girl CGCC Her age was seventeen CGFC I gave her all I had to give CGFF But the baggage of my dreams CGFC Stole me from the games we played CGFF Scorned me for my mast CGFC And if she's gone she lingers on CGCC I beg you please don't ask
CGFC T'was on her dark March evening CGCC Southbound I did ride CGF My head was out the window CCGFF When I found her at my side CGFC Asked where I was going to CGFF I told but where I came CGFC For the jails in which I've done my time CGCC I fail hard to regain
CGFC Dark girl, dark girl it kills me so CGCC To watch you so afraid CGFC You know that you've been real to those CGFF When realness should be feigned CGFC Her eyes gone wide, "Alive," she cried CGFF Does pleasure ever last? CGFC We live to see, but patiently CGCC I beg you please don't ask
DAGD She took me in despite my sins DADD Fed me tea and such DAGD And as she fell just like a child DAGG I crumbled 'neath her touch DAGD I held my breath in fear to weep DAGG For the fragments of my brain DAGD See each day's but a moment that DADD I fail hard to regain
DAGD But as it goes the people it throws DADD Our values to the street DAGD Whole world came and saint's gaze DAGG Impatience in his feet DAGD And captives of this paltry trade DAGG We curse our mortal past DAGD Forgive us though we all must go DADD And where to please don't ask
repear chords for last verse without lyrics
last verse palm muted CGFC And now I am a misspent man CGCC Who knows not where he's been CGFC And though so sapped with suffering CGFF The worst is yet unseen CGFC Renounce myself for further wealth CGFF I take each breath in vain CGFC Still haunted by that railway girl CGCC I fail hard to regain
