[Verse 1]
Em
Spine-tingling railway sleepers
G             A5         C          Em
Sleepy houses lying four-square 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        Em
Where green moss oozes from the pores
     Am
Dull echoes from the wet embankments
Am            G               B    Em
Battlefield allotments, fresh open sores

[Verse 2]
Em
In late night commuter madness
G                   A5        C      Em
Double-locked black briefcase on the floor
Em
Like a faithful dog with master

G               A5                 C        Em
Sleeping in the draught beside the carriage door
        Am
To each Journeyman his own home-coming
Am          C            D            Em
Cold supper nearing with each station stop
Am
Frosty flakes on empty platforms
Am       G                 B     Em
Fireside slippers waiting, flip, flop

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

[Verse 3]
Em
On the late commuter special
G                    A5       C        Em
Carriage lights that flicker, 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       Em
Told the guards to turn the heating off

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