C... (the closing chord of the previous song, Sentimental Johnny)
B E B F#
B E Em B
[Verse]
B E B E
Well I worked on the railroad for two pence a day
B E Em B
Drank down one penny, the other I’d save
B E B E
I hammered and I hammered, for God knows how long
B E Em B
Well into madness with each setting sun
B E B F#
I put my head down and I dreamt you were here
B E Em B
With me by the ol’ tree where no one could care
[Chorus]
B E B E
Far away boys, far away boys, away from ya now
B E Em B
I’m lyin’ with my sweetheart, in her arms I’ll be found
[Verse]
B E B E
Then the sun belched upon me, you were no longer here
B E Em B
Lyin’ in your place was my hammer and my gear
B E B E
So I stamped out the fire that kept us both warm
B E Em B
The ashes were fallin’ like the snow drops of old
B E B F#
We came to a mountain, dynamite and she’ll blow
B E Em B
E big hole in that rock like the one in my soul
[Solo]

[Chorus]
B E B E
Far away boys, far away boys, away from ya now
B E Em B
I’m lyin’ with my sweetheart, in her arms I’ll be found
[Verse]
B E B E
We buried four workmen; they dug themselves well
B E Em B
From four empty coffins to four early graves
B E B E
They’re only paddies, just paddies; don’t dig them too deep
B E Em B
You’ll need all your strength, boys, and they’re replaced easily
B E B F#
With the heat I was melting into your sweet lips
B E Em B
Ah, your kiss takes me back, takes me back from all this
[Chorus]
B E B E
Far away boys, far away boys, away from ya now
B E Em B
I’m lyin’ with my sweetheart, in her arms I’ll be found
[Verse]
B E B E
Someone said it was Christmas but not a tree was in sight
B E Em B
The only thing growin’ was my will to die
B E B E
Till the gaffer said “Men, your work here is done”
B E Em B
I said “I’ll see you in Hell, on that train we died for”
B E B F#
Never again will I smell your sweet dream
B E Em B
But a pissed stained old gutter where your lips used to be
[Chorus]
B E B E
Far away boys, far away boys, away from ya now
B E Em B
I’m lyin’ with my sweetheart, in her arms I’ll be found
