[Verse 1]
D G Em A7
I’m gonna tie myself to that rocket, at the centre of the square
D G Em A7
Timetable in my pocket – for God knows where
F# G F# G
So long Mr Laird, although you never really cared
D Bm Em A7
You were the only one who heard my constant sobbing.
[Chorus]
D G Em A
Frequent electric trains took away my true love
D G Em A
Frequent electric trains, I hope you’re proud
F# G F# G
Forever underground; oh, so profound
D Bm Em A7 D A7 D A7
Curse your convenience frequent electric trains.
[Verse 2]
D G Em A7
Waiting for lift off, a chance to reflect
D G Em A7
Wrapped up in tin foil with fuel to inject
F# G F# G
Commencing countdown I need a high for a low
D Bm Em A7
Amidst this listed splendour I watched her go.
[Chorus]
D G Em A
Frequent electric trains did me no favours
D G Em A
Frequent electric trains caused me to grieve
F# G F# G
I thought we were fine then she saw your sign
D Bm Em A7
You eased her departure frequent electric trains.

[Outro]
F# G F# G
Goodbye Georgian elegance; at least you tried
D Bm Em A7
Farewell Great Uncle Allen - I’ll see you on the other side.
D G D G
Frequent electric trains, frequent electric trains
D G D G
Frequent electric trains, frequent electric trains
D G D G
Action stations, stand by, cross my legs and hope to fly
D G
Frequent electric trains
D G D G
Ice cream for crow, Thunderbirds are go
D G D G
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three,
D G
Two, one, gone.
