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