Cheryl's Going Home by John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett

A augmentedA

A augmentedA
The thunder cracks against the night,
A augmentedA
The dark explodes with a yellow light,
D MajorD
The railroad sign is flashing bright,
A augmentedA
The people stare but I don't care,
G+G
My flesh is cold against my bones, and Cheryl's going home

A augmentedA
Can you hear me shouting in the rain?
A augmentedA
Is there a way to stop the train?
A augmentedA
I've got some reasons to explain,   about the way I was today
G+G
The whistle moans and I'm alone, and Cheryl's going home

A augmentedA
Send a roving special down the line,
A augmentedA
I'm running desperately behind,
D MajorD
There's only one thing on my mind,
A augmentedA
As the rain and tears are in my eyes,
  G+G
The things I have to say will not be known, and Cheryl's going home

      C majorC
She's going home tonight ok, I'm running down the train tracks,
C majorC
Lost because she's gone away, oh yeah, Cheryl baby I love you
  C majorC
And all the things you've ever done for me that's true.
    C majorC
Then I see that look in your eyes, my God I'm sad now, paralysed
C majorC
You're going away, I'd hope you were gonna say
    C majorC
I'm so sad you're going away, 'cause that train, that bloody train
     C majorC
Is going chuff, chuff, chuff, chuff, chuff down the track,
      C majorC
It's going chuff, chuff, chuff, chuff, chuff down the track,
  C majorC
And Cheryl is going home, Cheryl is going home, Cheryl is going home tonight

A augmentedA
The thunder cracks against the night, the dark explodes with a yellow light
A augmentedA
The railroad sign is flashing bright, the people stare but I don't care
G+G
My flesh is cold against my bones, and darling Cheryl's going home
