Harvey Andrews - The Last Train
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
Am
It was the last train of the evening
Dm G
The sun was setting low
E7 Am
As we pulled out of the station
F G
I glanced up to see its glow
C Am
In the window a reflection
Dm G
Of a face I used to know
E7 Am
In an old life, in a young life
F G
We both lived so long ago
[Chorus]
C Bb
She could dance from dusk till dawning
F
She could twist and shout with joy
D7 Dm G
And I was hers forever, her first and only boy
C Am
But in that old life, in that young life
Dm G
I was far too smart to know
Dm G F
That the one regret I'd harbour yet
G C
Was that I let her go
[Verse 2]
Am
She was reading as I watched her
Dm G
Till she turned another page
E7 Am
From the lines upon her face now
F G
You could never tell her age
C Am
But I knew I looked so different
Dm G
Time just hadn't been that kind
E7 Am
On my face were etched the failures
F G
Of the life I'd left behind
[Verse 3]
C F
As we slowed she closed her novel
Stood to take her suitcase down
D
Turned and paused and stared at me
G
Then shadowed by a frown
C Am
Shook her head, took her case
Dm G
Moved towards the door
Dm G
Another time, another place
F G C
But leaving me once more
[Chorus]
C Bb
She could dance from dusk till dawning
F G
She could twist and shout with joy, and that
Dm G F
That the one regret I'd harbour yet
G C
Was that I let her go
It was the last train of the evening
