Lindisfarne - Kings Cross Blues
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO (fade in):] C
[VERSE 1:]
Early train starts on time
G
Everybody else is feeling fine
Reading the papers and studying the form
F C
And the people just taking this as norm
[VERSE 2:]
G
Except me
F C
I don't seem to function 'til at least a quarter-to-three
G
Stare at the floor
F C
I don't want to take this Kings Cross train no more
[VERSE 3:]
I'm drinking whiskey at the bar
G
Can't afford the dining car
Ruddy faced soldiers drink and curse
F C
Find themselves out if it gets much worse
[VERSE 4:]
G
Grates on me
F C
'Cause I don't even share the same philosophy
G
Leaving the bar
F C
Well, I wish that Kings Cross station didn't have to be so far
[CHORUS:]

[VERSE 5:]
Well, taking this journey to the South
G
To find work to feed the extra mouth
Find it hard, I to have to say
F C
'Cause they don't talk the same way
[VERSE 6:]
G
Grates on me
F C
Well, I don't even share the same philosophy
G
Leaving the bar
F C
Oh, wish that Kings Cross station didn't have to be so far
