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

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

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

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

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