Verse:
G+G                   C majorC
I've been hanging around this station long enough to know
     D MajorD              C majorC
Where the brakeman disappears when the whistle blows
  G+G
And who's gonna make it out all right when the final night train shows
  D MajorD     A minorAm
Ah babe, it's true
   C majorC                      G+G  C majorC G+G
I've seen a lot of women here, waiting just like you

Verse:
                  C majorC          D MajorD
Hear the fireman start singing the same time every day
  D MajorD                C majorC
The same song about his life and his well planned getaway
      G+G
And it's a shame to hear such a pretty voice with not one thing to say
  D MajorD     A minorAm
Ah babe, it's true
  C majorC                            G+G  C majorC G+G
You would have loved him back in time, if he'd only sung for you

Verse:
               C majorC
Moonlight in the water tower always shines so cold
    D MajorD              C majorC
In the shadow of the pay phone, the saints are getting bold
    G+G
And it don't matter to them now, if it's real or just fool's gold
  D MajorD     A minorAm
Ah, babe, it's true
 C majorC                      G+G  C majorC G+G
I heard all the saints tonight talking only of you

Verse:
                      C majorC
Listen deep into the night, girl, can you hear the whistle blow?[
   D MajorD                         C majorC
Looks like you're gonna make it out alright, But there's one thing you must know
     G+G
The only ones who can help you now, are the ones who must stay here when you go
  D MajorD     A minorAm
Ah babe, it's true
   C majorC                      G+G  C majorC G+G
I've seen a lot of women here, smiling just like you

Verse:
                         C majorC
And there are some saints still in hiding by the river in the reeds
      D MajorD                  C majorC
And they're turning down every train that don't feel the right speed
        G+G
Sing them this song when you pass by, it'll be your last good deed
  D MajorD     A minorAm
Ah babe, it's true
  C majorC                      G+G  C majorC G+G
The saints are down every line waiting just for you
