Cheryls Going Home chords by John Otway

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

A

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

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

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

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

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