Biografía:
Importante cantante y compositor de bonitas melodías folk, su primer sencillo “Taxi” logró un éxito inminente, pero sus primeros dos álbumes, “Head And Trais” y “Sniper And Other Love Songs” no disfrutarían del mismo éxito. Su tercer trabajo, “Short Stories”, permaneció en las listas unos seis meses gracias al sencillo “W.O.L.D.”. El disco “Verities And Balderdash” fue disco de oro y Chapin también consigue una nominación de la Academia por su documental “Legendary Champions” en 1968.

Corey's Coming (long version)
Words and Music by Harry Chapin
(capo 3rd fret)
Open: D - C/D - Am - C - G - A
D
Old John Joseph was a man with two first names
Em A G Em A7sus4 - A7
They left him in the railroad yard when they took away the trains
D
And only one run a week comes on roarin' down that line
Em A G D
So all he's got to worry about is time
Em A7 Bm F#m
He sits in the breakhouse, his hands out to the fire
Em Cmaj7 Fmaj7 A7
Movin' through his memories of love and desire
Em A7 Bm F#m
Tellin' me the stories of the glories of his past
Em Cmaj7 Fmaj7 A7sus4 - A7
But he always saves the story of his Corey for the last
D Em
And he says, my Corey's coming, no more sad stories coming
A G Em A7sus4 - A7
My midnight, moonlight, morning glory's coming aren't you girl?
D Em7
And like I told you, when she holds you
A D
She enfolds you in her world
D - C/D - Am - C - G - A
D
I'd come by in the evening to find out where he'd been
Em A G Em A7sus4 - A7
He'd say come on sit down kid, where shall I begin?
D
And I'd say you know my favorite, though you know I like the rest
Em A G Em D
But I love the way you tell me of your Corey the best
Em A7 Bm F#m
And so I'd hear his life long love recreated by his tongue
Em Cmaj7 Fmaj7 A7
He'd turn back the years, she'd seem forever young
Em A7 Bm F#m
Though the other stories changed as they rolled through his head
Em Cmaj7 Fmaj7 A7
He'd say the same words about Corey just before he went to bed
Em Cmaj7 Fmaj7 A7
And then he'd send me away but he'd be smiling as he said
D Em
Can't you see, my Corey's coming, no more sad stories coming
A G Em A7sus4 - A7
My midnight, moonlight, morning glory's coming aren't you girl?
D Em7
And like I told you, when she holds you
A D
She enfolds you in her world
D - C/D - Am - C - G - A
D
I was quite surprised to find out all the places that he knew
Em A G Em Asus4 - A7
So I asked the townfolk if his stories were true
D
They said Old John was born here, he's lived here all his life
Em A G Em D
He never had a woman, let alone a wife
Em A7 Bm F#m
And very soon you'll find out, as you check around
Em Cmaj7 Fmaj7 A7
That no one named Corey's ever lived in this town
Em A7 Bm F#m
So I chided the old man about the truth that I had heard
Em Cmaj7 Fmaj7 A7sus4 - A7
He smiled and said reality is only just a word
D Em
Can't you see, my Corey's coming, no more sad stories coming
A G Em A7sus4 - A7
My midnight, moonlight, morning glory's coming aren't you girl?
D Em7
And like I told you, when she holds you
A Dm
She enfolds you in her world
Dm/E Dm/C DmaddG
I came by one evening but he did not hear my shout
Gm A#6/F Em7b5 A7addG
I looked in the window and I saw the fire was out
Dm Dm/E Dm/C DmaddG
When he would not wake up I forced in the door
Gm A#6/F Em7b5 A7addG
And I found that old John Joseph would tell stories........ no more
Dm Dm/E Dm/C DmaddG
The scene at the graveyard just three of us were there
Gm A#6/F Em7b5 A7addG
Me and the grave digger we heard the parson's prayer
[NO CHORD]
He said we need not grieve for this man
D
For we know that God cares
D
They put the cold dirt over him and left me on my own
Em A G Em A7sus4 - A7
When at last I looked up I saw I was not alone
D
Standing there in silence, with a shawl around her head
Em G G Em D
Was a beautiful young woman, I remember what she said
Em A Em - A
Is that John Joseph there?
A D
I nodded my head yes
A A7sus4 - A7 - A7sus2 - A7
That brought a soft smile from her
G A7 D
She said it's time he got some rest
D
So I said if you're a relative he had a peaceful end
Em A7sus4 - A7 - A7sus2 - A7
That's when she said my name is Corey
G A7 D
You could say I'm just a friend
D Em
Corey's coming, no more sad stories coming
A G Em A7sus4 - A7
My midnight, moonlight, morning glory's coming aren't you girl?
D Em7
And like I told you, when she holds you
A D
She enfolds you in her world
D - C/D - Am - C - G - A
D
So that's the old man's story, I'm glad you came tonight
Em A7 G Em A7sus4 - A7
You see a busted down old railroad yard sure makes a lonely site
D
You may wonder why a young man would work out here alone
Em A G Em D
The job pays enough to keep some flesh on my bones
Em A7 Bm F#m
And I confess I get to missing the old man a bit
Em Cmaj7 Fmaj7 A7sus4 - A7 - A7sus2 - A7
Yes there's one other reason I guess I could admit
D Em
Corey's coming, no more sad stories coming
A G Em A7sus4 - A7
My midnight, moonlight, morning glory's coming aren't you girl?
D Em7
And like he told me, when she holds you
A D
She enfolds me in her world
D - C/D - Am - D
