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