Em D
On a lonesome evening, when rain turns pavement black
C Em
I put you on a train, I’d never see you back again…
1 CHORUS
G D C
'cause you were leaving, I couldn't fathom why
G D C
and the moon was a slice of lemon in a gin and tonic sky
gin and tonic sky
Em D
well I put you on a train, you should have heard the engines laughter
C Em
saying' "I'm takin' her away and don't come running after"
Em D
you gave me one last cold kiss, colder than steel
C
this would be the last time
G D
and my tears were like vinegar burning in my eyes,
C
burning in my eyes
1 CHORUS
2 CHORUS
Please swear you won't take her from me now…
And I always said train stations gave me a lonesome feeling
'cause from someone somewhere they were stealing, stealing
na na na na na, na na na
and to hear the trains arms a violently pumping
and a little ruby heart inside me a thumping,
I was my own man now, a soldier on a battle field,
A grain of sand on a gold dust beach,
A one man band with an empty open hand,
A one man band with an empty open hand
1 CHORUS(x2)
Gin and tonic sky, gin and tonic sky,
Gin and tonic sky, gin and tonic sky
Sky oh! Gin and tonic sky
