Em                     D
On a lonesome evening, when rain turns pavement black
C                     Em
I put you on a train, I’d never see you back again…

[Chorus]
G         D              C
'cause you were leaving, I couldn't fathom why
G         D                       C
and the moon was a slice of lemon in a gin and tonic sky
gin and tonic sky

Em        D       C    x2

Em                         D
well I put you on a train, you should have heard the engines laughter
C                               Em
saying' "I'm takin' her away and don't come running after"
Em                              D
you gave me one last cold kiss, colder than steel
C
this would be the last time
G                      D
and my tears were like vinegar burning in my eyes,
C
burning in my eyes

[Chorus]
G         D              C
'cause you were leaving, I couldn't fathom why
G         D                       C
and the moon was a slice of lemon in a gin and tonic sky
gin and tonic sky

Em      D

C
Please swear you won't take her from me now…

Em           D         C


And I always said train stations gave me a lonesome feeling
'cause from someone somewhere they were stealing, stealing

Em         D        C
na na na na na, na na na

Em         D        C
na na na na na, Oh Ohh


Em                          D
and to hear the trains arms a violently pumping
C
and a little ruby heart inside me a thumping,
Em           D           C
I was my own man now, a soldier on a battle field,
Em                    D
A grain of sand on a gold dust beach,
C
A one man band with an empty open hand,
Em                  D                C
A one man band with an empty open hand, I said a

Em                  D
A one man band with an empty open hand
C                                       Em         D      C
A one man band with an empty open hand,

[Chorus]
G         D              C
'cause you were leaving, I couldn't fathom why
G         D                       C
and the moon was a slice of lemon in a gin and tonic sky
gin and tonic sky
G         D              C
'cause you were leaving, I couldn't fathom why
G         D                       C
and the moon was a slice of lemon in a gin and tonic sky, gin and tonic sky
C
Gin and tonic sky, gin and tonic sky,
C
Gin and tonic sky, gin and tonic sky
