[G]Riding the train out to Yanchep, [Em]Watching the trees go by like
lig[A]hting strikes above our beautiful [C]ocean
[G]It's a nothing day, [Em]Just doing something that's
close to [A]nothing, but at least we're [C]out
As we [C]take the train to [G]Yanchep, [C]was a holiday spot in my [G]youth
[C]these days we can get there in [G]half the time, it's [C]forgotten charm, more suburban [Em]territory
the [Em]irony is not lost [D]on me ...
[G]The locals are all about, [Em]going about their daily business
[A]picking up bread for the family or [C]groceries for the week
[G]It such a long way to the [Em]big smoke
But [A]unless you work there, there ain't no [C]reason to go
As we [C]take the train to [G]Yanchep, [C]was a holiday spot in my [G]youth
[C]these days we can get there in [G]half the time, it's [C]forgotten charm, more suburban [Em]territory
the [Em]irony is not lost [D]on me ...
[G]The line used to terminate at Joondalup [Em]in the 90's
It [A]seems so long ago, but [C]feels like yesterday
[G]what does the future hold, is our [Em]national park safe
we [A]need the water back to bring life to the [C]crystal cave
[Bm]the more people move there, the [G]less likely it will be
[Bm]save the lake, for the [C]future generation
As we [C]take the train to [G]Yanchep, [C]was a holiday spot in my [G]youth
[C]these days we can get there in [G]half the time, it's [C]forgotten charm, more suburban [Em]territory
the [Em]irony is not lost [D]on me ...
[G]
