Verse
F#
The house burned down on a stormy night
A#m
and they never did find out why.
B
I just stood alone beneath the silver maple
G#m F#
Trying to keep my cigarettes dry.
[Verse 2]
F#
Waiting for the firemen,
A#m
I couldn't save a thing,
B
And deep inside my home above the roar of the flame
G#m F#
I swore I heard the telephone ring.
[Verse 3]
F#
The rain let up and we worked till dawn,
A#m
just me and the firemen,
B
And when they cut the power and the lines went dead,
G#m F#
I never got called again.
[Chorus 1]
D#m A#m
The house was gone by the break of dawn,
B
the air was cold and grey.
F# A#m
I just set off down the road alone,
G#m B F# B/F# F# B/F# F#
but it's always gone that way.
[Verse 4]
F#
So young, so long ago
A#m
I thought I heard that train,
B
Calling out my name,
G#m F#
At least it sounded like my name.
[Verse 5]
F#
Just a boy with no direction,
A#m
I left my home behind,
B
And the sky changed color
G#m F#
once I crossed that town line.
[Verse 6]
F#
My good friends did the best they could
A#m
to hold me down with them,
B
But I took one look, and I packed my bags
G#m F#
and I slipped around the bend.
[Chorus 2]
D#m A#m
The lessons came from left and right,
B
the first night out I found,
F# A#m
The laws were not meant to protect
G#m B F# F#/B F# F#/B F#
the man from out of town.
[Verse 7]
F#
There was a cold street on the sea coast,
A#m
I once tried to call home.
B
Where the church steeples rose up
G#m F#
above the town like broken bones.
[Verse 8]
F#
Drinking whiskey with the catholic priest
A#m
one night in the recotory hall,
B
He just shook his head and said
G#m F#
"You never know when Jesus calls."
[Chorus 3]
D#m A#m
Then his eyes got wide and he looked around
B
but he just could not explain.
F# A#m
It was like he heard the sound of Jesus laugh
G#m B F# B/F# F# B/F# F#
the way I heard that train.
[Verse 9]
F#
Now the years and the faces blur,
A#m
still I can remember some.
B
There were women washing windows,
G#m F#
there were salesgirls chewing gum.
[Verse 10]
F#
There were curses in the shapes of old men,
A#m
kneeling in the pews.
B
There are things in this life
G#m F#
a man just does not get to choose.
[Verse 11]
F#
So, finally I found a home
A#m
in a tiny mountain town,
B
Just a simple place to keep me dry
G#m F#
when the rain came pouring down.
[Chorus 4]
D#m A#m
G# place to sleep, the rent was cheap,
B
brick walls and a new slate roof.
F# A#m
The landlord said "You'll be safe here.
B G#m F#
This house is fireproof."
