[Verse 1]
Em
Spine-tingling railway sleepers
G             A5         C      
Sleepy houses lying four-square 
    Em
and firm
Em
Orange beams divide the darkness
G               A5       C      Em
Rumbling fit to turn the waking worm
Am
Sliding through Victorian tunnels
Am               C     D        
Where green moss oozes from the 
Em
pores
     Am
Dull echoes from the wet embankments
Am            G               B  
Battlefield allotments, fresh 
  Em
open sores

[Verse 2]
Em
In late night commuter madness
G                   A5        C 
Double-locked black briefcase on
     Em
 the floor
Em
Like a faithful dog with master
Continúa después del anuncio
G               A5                
Sleeping in the draught beside the
 C        Em
 carriage door
        Am
To each Journeyman his own 
home-coming
Am          C            D
Cold supper nearing with each 
            Em
station stop
Am
Frosty flakes on empty platforms
Am       G                 B     
Fireside slippers waiting, flip, 
Em
flop

[Chorus 1]
B                    A           
Journeyman night-tripping on the 
B       A
late fantastic
B                A          B   
Too late to stop for tea at 
           A Dsus2
Gerard's Cross
Em
And hear the soft shoes on the 
footbridge shuffle
       G           A5            
As the wheels turn biting on the 
C        Em
midnight frost

[Verse 3]
Em
On the late commuter special
G                    A5       C 
Carriage lights that flicker, 
       Em
fade and die
Em
Howling into hollow blackness
G            A5          C    Em
Dusky diesel shudders in full cry
Am
Down redundant morning papers
Am      C          D      Em
Abandon crosswords with a cough
Am
Stationmaster in his wisdom
Am                 G        B   
Told the guards to turn the 
    Em
heating off

[Chorus 2]
B                    A           
Journeyman night-tripping on the 
B       A
late fantastic
B                A          B   
Too late to stop for tea at 
           A Dsus2
Gerard's Cross
Em
And hear the soft shoes on the 
footbridge shuffle
       G           A5            
As the wheels turn biting on the 
C        Em
midnight frost
