Chords with lyrics

D MajorD            G+G       A augmentedA
I will never forget the walk to the station,
G+G       D MajorD             A 
Me with your suitcase being brotherly strong. 
  F# minorF#m       G+G       A augmentedA    D MajorD
And trying to make light of the whole situation, 
  G+G     D MajorD     A augmentedA         D MajorD
In mild conversation we moved through the throng, 

D MajorD               G+G        A augmentedA
And above all the roar of the town was the blue sky, 
    G+G       D MajorD             A 
I could hear the birds singing for the joy of the day 
  F# minorF#m       G+G       A augmentedA    D MajorD
And there was no support from the city forthcoming, 
  G+G     D MajorD     A augmentedA    D MajorD
No sympathy numbing your going away. 

D MajorD                  G+G            A augmentedA
And there was you with your bright eyes and best dress for travelling 
G+G       D MajorD             A 
And me in my work clothes, unshaven and plain, 
  F# minorF#m   G+G     A augmentedA      D MajorD
Oh, I fully intended to put in the half day, 
  G+G     D MajorD         A augmentedA      D MajorD
But my good intentions went with you on the train. 

D MajorD               G+G        A augmentedA
And I never looked back as the train left the station, 
    G+G     D MajorD             A 
Crossed over the road and walked into the park, 
  F# minorF#m    G+G     A augmentedA    D MajorD
And there in a bar an old man was singing, 
  G+G      D MajorD     A augmentedA     D MajorD
And I sat there drinking until it got dark.

D MajorD                G+G       A augmentedA
And outside the trees they grew starlings like apples, 
   G+G      D MajorD              A 
Their hustle and chatter not dampened by the rain. 
  F# minorF#m       G+G       A augmentedA    D MajorD
That washed down the pavements and into the gutters, 
   G+G         D MajorD       A augmentedA    D MajorD
That soaked through my clothes as I set out again, 

D MajorD                G+G     A augmentedA
And above me the stars were all hidden by rain clouds, 
G+G        D MajorD             A 
The song of the old man still locked in my brain, 
  F# minorF#m   G+G     A augmentedA     D MajorD
And all emigration, the curse of a nation 
  G+G      D MajorD     A augmentedA      D MajorD
