Long Island Railroad

C
I found her in the city
         F              C
Put some flowers on her table
         F              C
It was a cold and windy evening
      G
So we lounged across the floor
   C
We played our favourite record
       F            C
That I found in my apartment
     F                C
In a box we labelled 'Lovers'
     G              C
In a box we made as friends

C
I met up with her off Broadway
       F                C
Took a walk with her on Sunday
   F                 C
We drove to hear the gospel
        G
Put our filthy hands to work
C
I wrote down all my feelings
       F                C
With a pen and piece of paper
  F                 C
I told her about it later
     G                  C
As I took the long road home

C           Am            F              C
Look at the flame that is burning in the city
        F            G        C
It is a fire I can't ever put out
C           Am            F              Am F
Look at the flame that is burning in the city
              C           G               Am
I'll take the Long Island Railroad out of town
                F           G               C
I will take the Long Island Railroad out of town

C
She left her home in Georgia
          F              C
Back when she was just a child
  F             C
A daughter of a preacher
     G
In a lovely little world
  C
I loved how she would listen
    F                    C
And learn from different scholars
         F               C
Some are poets, some are authors
       G               C
Either way I love them all

C           Am            F              C
Look at the flame that is burning in the city
        F            G        C
It is a fire I can't ever put out
C           Am            F              Am F
