The Railyard Balto
[Dm] [F] [C] [Gm] [/] [Dm] [F] [C] [Gm]
I'll [Dm]call her Eliza, the [F]girl with no name
All [C]wrapped up in silence, in [Gm]secrets, in pain
In [Dm]north country winter, both [F]tied to the road
She [C]Smiled and said nothing, I [Gm]bared her my soul.
And I [Dm]knew that I loved her, but I [F]couldn't say why
And [C]all of that silence might [Gm]well have been lies
She cried[Dm] out 'I love you, but I'll [F]never be free.
There '[C]aint no use guessing, just [Gm]forget about me.'
[Dm] [C] [Gm] [/] [Dm] [C] [Gm]
[F]Oooh, [C]Oooh, It's [Gm]lonesome out here on the [Bb]road
Where the [F]last points of fire that [C]light the night sky
Burn [Dm]down to their embers and [Bb]flicker and die
And [F]Oooh [C]Oooh, My [Gm]fingers go numb in the [Bb]cold
Where the [F]last little spark that's [C]disrupting the dark
Is that [Dm]last bit of feeling that's [Bb]left in my heart
[Dm] [F] [C] [Gm] [/] [Dm] [F] [C] [Gm]
My [Dm]footsteps were haunted for [F]many long weeks
I [C]couldn't find shelter in those [Gm]dull dusty streets
So I [Dm]found me a railcar with no [F]windows, no doors
Poured [C]out all my love on the [Gm]cold rusty floor
And [Dm]in the gray morning I was [F]long gone, away
In a [C]far eastern country where the [Gm]language is strange
Where the [Dm]seabirds they circle no [F]ocean nearby
Like [C]lost souls they're crying, [Gm]lamenting their plight
[Dm] [C] [Gm]
The [Dm]sun rises and sets in the [F]same goddamn place
Shadows [C]circle my body and [Gm]laugh in my face
Though I [Dm]set out to find me a [F]whole brand new life
I don't[C] want to forget her, I [Gm]don't want to die
[Dm] [C] [Gm] [/] [Dm] [C] [Gm]
[F]Oooh [C]Oooh, It's [Gm]lonesome out here on the [Bb]road
Where the [F]last points of fire that [C]light the night sky
Burn [Dm]down to their embers and [Bb]flicker and die
And [F]Oooh [C]oooh, My [Gm]fingers go numb in the [Bb]cold
Where the [F]last little spark that's [C]disrupting the dark
Is that [Dm]last bit of feeling that's [Bb]left in my heart
F C Gm Bb / F C Dm Bb / F C Gm Bb / F C Dm Bb / End on Dm
