Tom: Am
Am
[Verse]
Am
Where the firestorms are howling through the land
And the riverboats are drowning in the sand
G
Where the hinges of the window shutters groan
Am
Was my father's home
Am
Where the schoolbell's ringin' way down Lincoln Square
And the sound of broken playgrounds fill the air
G
I see skeletons of greyhounds lay and rust
Am
And their trails in the dust
G
And I still can hear the children in the park
Am
Where they danced in the dark
[Chorus]
C G
And I'm all on my own
Dm F
On that long lonesome road
C G Am
I will roam 'til I'm old in my bones
C G
And I'm waiting in vain
Dm F
For the late evening train
C G Am
'Til the day when it takes me away
Am
[Verse 2]
Am
Where the neon temples glitter in the night
But there's no one to assemble in their light
G
The shepherd broke his crooked staff and roared
Am
Out to the name of the lord
Am
On the porch I watched the pigeons fight the crumbs
And the raindrops played the tin roof battle drums
G
I should find myself some shelter I suppose
Am
With the dogs and the crows
G
Where we all can live together safe and sound
Am
In our hole in the ground
[Chorus]
C G
And I'm all on my own
Dm F
On that long lonesome road
C G Am
I will roam 'til I'm old in my bones
C G
And I'm waiting in vain
Dm F
For the late evening train
C G Am
'Til the day when it takes me away
Am
[Verse 3]
Am
Where the mountains crumble down and oceans rise
And the country's getting old before my eyes
G
Waltzing with the planets in the sky
Am
Turn the wheels of time
Am
And I gaze up to the stars until I sleep
See their blaze deep in my heart and in my dreams
G
When everything is dark the future's bright
Am
And it feels alright
G
I will rise up and I'll fly into space
Am
Come the end of days
[Chorus]
C G
And I'm all on my own
Dm F
On that long lonesome road
C G Am
I will roam 'til I'm old in my bones
C G
And I'm waiting in vain
Dm F
For the late evening train
C G Am
'Til the day when it takes me away
C G
And I'm all on my own
Dm F
On that long lonesome road
C G Am
I will roam 'til I'm old in my bones
C G
And I'm waiting in vain
Dm F
For the late evening train
C G Am
'Til the day when it takes me away
