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