Tabbed by: Betty Lou
Dm ~
Dm
There's a Spanish train that runs between
Bb
Quadalquivir and old Saville,
C
and at dead of night the whistle blows,
A7 Dm
and people hear she's running still.
Dm
And then they hush their children back to sleep,
Bb
lock the doors, upstairs they creep,
C
for it is said that the souls of the dead
A7 Dm
fill that train ten thousand deep!
Dm Bb C Dm
Well, a railwayman lay dying with his people by his side,
Bb A7
his family were crying, knelt in prayer before he died.
Bb C
But above his head just a-waiting for the dead,
A7 Dm
was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye,
Bb C
"Well God's not around and look what I've found:
C Dm
This one's mine !"
Dm Bb C Dm
Just then the Lord himself appeared in a blinding flash of light,
Bb A7
and shouted at the devil, "Get thee hence to endless night !"
Bb C
But the Devil just grinned and said, "I may have sinned,
A7 Dm
but there's no need to push me around,
Bb C C Dm
I got him first, so you can do your worst, he's going underground !"
Dm Bb C Dm
"Well I think I'll give you one more chance," said the Devil with a smile,
Bb A7
"So throw away that stupid lance, it's really not your style",
Bb C A7 Dm
"Joker is the name, poker is the game, we'll play right here on this bed,
Bb C C Dm
and then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet, the souls of the dead!"
Bb C Dm
And I said "Look out, Lord, he's going to win,
Bb C Dm
the sun is down and the night is riding in.
Bb A7 Dm Gm
That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line.
Bb C Dm
oh, Lord, he's gonna win!"
Dm
Well the railway man he cut the cards
Bb C Dm
and he dealt them each a hand of five
And for the Lord he was praying hard
Bb A7
or that train he'd have to drive.
Bb C
Well, the Devil he had three aces and a king,
A7 Dm
and the Lord, he was running for a straight,
Bb C
He had the queen and the knave and nine and ten of spades,
C Dm
all he needed was the eight.
Dm
And then the Lord he called for one more card,
Bb C Dm
but he drew the diamond eight,
And the Devil said to the son of God,
Bb A7
"I believe you've got it straight.
Bb C
So deal me one for the time has come
A7 Dm
to see who'll be the king of this place,
Bb C
But as he spoke, from beneath his cloak,
C Dm
he slipped another ace !
Dm
Ten thousand souls was the opening bid,
Bb C Dm
and it soon went up to fifty-nine,
but the Lord didn't see what the Devil did,
Bb A7
and he said, "that suits me fine",
Bb C
"I'll raise you high to a hundred and five,
A7 Dm
and forever put an end to your sins."
Bb C C Dm
But the Devil let out a mighty shout, "My hand wins !"
Bb C Dm
And I said "Lord, oh Lord, you let him win,
Bb C Dm
the sun is down and the night is riding in.
Bb A7 Dm Gm
That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line,
Bb C Dm
oh Lord, don't let him win."
Dm
Well, that Spanish train still runs between,
Bb
Quadalquivir and old Saville.
C
And at dead of night the whistle blows,
A7 Dm
and people fear she's running still.
Dm
And far away in some recess
Bb
the Lord and the Devil are now playing chess.
C
The Devil still cheats and wins more souls,
A7 Dm
and as for the Lord, well, he's just doing his best.
Bb C Dm
And I said "Lord, oh Lord, you've got to win,
Bb C Dm
the sun is down and the night is riding in.
Bb A7 Dm Gm
That train is still on time, oh, my soul is down the line,
Bb C Dm
oh Lord, you've got to win."

Tabbed by: frankowillo
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: Cadd9 C Am Dm G Cadd9 C
C
That cold North wind they call "La Bise"
E7
Is swirling 'round about my knees
Am Dm G
Trees are crying leaves into the river
C
I'm huddled in this French cafe
E7
I never thought I'd see the day
Am Dm G
When winter's here and summer's nearly over
F G
Even the birds have packed up and gone
C F
They're flying south with this song
C F
And my love, she too has gone
G
She had to fly, take care
CHORUS:
C
It's such a lonely sky
Am Dm G
They'll trap your wings, my love, and hold your flight
C Am
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky
Dm
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high
G C Am Dm G C
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
C
The old cathedral lights are low
E7
She and I, we'd often go there
Am Dm G
To admire and sometimes kneel in prayer
C
Lords and ladies lying in stone
E7
Hand in hand from long ago
Am Dm G
Though their hands are cold, their love's forever
F G
Even the choir rehearses those songs
C F
For Christmas is not long
C F
And we may sing our song
G
She had to fly, out there
CHORUS: (# fade towards end #)
C
It's such a lonely sky
Am Dm G
They'll trap your wings, my love, and hold your flight
C Am
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky
Dm
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high
G C Am
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
Dm
Fly away, fly to me, and if you need my love
G C Am
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
Dm
I'm coming in with the dawn____
G C Am
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
Dm
On the wings of the morn____
G C Am
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
Dm
Above the world we'll be flying____
G C Am
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky

Hello darling, this is the army,

I've just got the time to write,

Today we attack, there's no turning back,

The boys they're all ready for the fight,

In nineteen seventeen the war must be ending,

The General said this attack will not fail,

Wounded in some shellhole,

They say this war will end all wars,

Oh God I really hope it will,
D B7
Oh how's old England, are they still singing
Em
Those songs that we loved to sing,
A
When all this is over, we'll go sailing in Dover,
D G D
Catching fish like we used to with a string,
G F#
Oh I miss you, I miss you, I miss you so!
Bm F#m Em F#
If they get me my love you will know...
Em D A D Em
We'll always be together in this song for you...

04. Patricia the Stripper 3:30
Tabbed by: Betty Lou
Capo 5
C E7
Dennis is a menace with his 'anyone for tennis?'
Am C7
and beseeching me to come and keep the score.
F Fm
And Maud says, 'Oh Lord, I'm so terribly bored.
C Am D7
I really can't stand it anymore.'
G7 C E7
I'm going out to dinner with a gorgeous singer
Am C7
to a little place I found down by the quay,
F Fm
her name is Patricia, she calls herself Delicia,
C Am D7 G
and the reason isn't very hard to see.
C E7
She says 'God made her a sinner just to keep fat man thinner,
Am C7
as they tumble down in heaps before her feet.
F Fm
They hang around in groups like battle weary troops,
C Am D7 G
one can often see them queue right down the street.
F E7
You see, Patricia (or Delicia) not only is a singer,
Am D7 G7
she also removes all her clothing - - -
F G C F C
for Patricia is the best stripper in to....wn.
G7 C A7
And with a swing of her hips she started to strip,
Dm G7
to tremendous applause she took of her drawers,
C A7
and with a lick of her lips she undid all her clips,
Dm G
and threw it all in the air, everybody stared !
F E7
And as the last piece of clothing fell on the floor,
C A7
the police were banging on the door,
Dm G C F
on a Saturday night in nineteen-twenty- f...our.
C G
Take it away boys!
C A7 Dm G7 C A7 Dm G C
G7 C E7
But poor Patricia was arrested and everyone detested
Am C7
the manner in which she was exposed.
F Fm
Later on in court, well, everybody thought
C Am D G
a summer run in jail would be proposed.
F E7
But the judge said, “Patricia, or may I say Delicia,
Am D7 G7
the facts of this case lie before me. Case dismissed !
F G C F C
This girl was in her working clo.....thes !!”
G7 C A7
And with a swing of her hips she started to strip,
Dm G7
to tremendous applause she took of her drawers,
C A7
and with a lick of her lips she undid all her clips,
Dm G
and threw it all in the air, and everybody stared !
F E7
And as the last piece of clothing fell on the floor,
C A7
the police were yelling out the door,
Dm G C A7
on a Saturday night in nineteen-twenty- f...our.
Dm G7 C F C
On a Saturday night in nineteen-twenty-four. Oh yeah !

CAPO 5
Verse1:
Am C G Am
A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar,

'twas light years of time since his mission did start

And over a village he halted his craft,
C G F F G Am
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star.
Verse2:
Am C G Am
He followed a light and came down to a shed,
C G F F G
Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed,
Am Em F Am
A bright light of silver shone round his head,
C G F F G Am
And he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid.
Verse3:
Am C G Am
Then the stranger spoke, he said "Do not fear,
C G F F G
I come from a planet a long way from here,
Am Em F Am
And I bring a message for mankind to hear",
C G F F G Am
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air.

Verse4:
Am C G Am
This lovely music went trembling through the ground,
C G F F G
And many were wakened on hearing that sound,
Am Em F Am
And travellers on the road, the village they found,
C G F F G Am
By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all around.
Verse5:
Am C G Am
And just before dawn at the paling of the sky,
C G F F G
The stranger returned and said "Now I must fly,
Am Em F Am
When two thousand years of your time has gone by,
C G F F G Am
This song will begin once again, to a babys cry".

This song will begin once again, to a babys cry".

This song will begin once again, to a babys cry".
