[Intro]
A E A
[Verse]
A E
At suburban railway stations, you may see them as you pass
A
There are signboards on the platforms saying, 'Wait here second class;'
A7 D
And to me the whirr and thunder and the cluck of running gear
A E A
Seem to be for ever saying, saying 'Second class wait here'
[Verse]
A E
Yes the second class were waiting, in the days of serf and prince,
A
And the second class are waiting — they've been waiting ever since.
A7 D
There are gardens in the background, and the line is bare and drear,
A E A
Yet they wait beneath the signboard, sneering 'Second class wait here.'
[Interlude]
E A
[Verse]
A E
I have waited in the winter, in the mornings dark and damp,
A
When the asphalt platform glistened underneath that lonely lamp.
A7 D
And the wind among the poplars and the wires that thread the air
A E A
Seemed to be for ever snarling, snarling 'Second class wait here.'
[Verse]
A E
Out beyond the further suburb, 'neath a chimney stack alone,
A
Lay the works of Grinder Brothers, with a platform of their own;
A7 D
And I waited there and suffered, waited there for many a day,
A E A
Slaved beneath a phantom signboard, telling all my hopes to stay!.
[Interlude]
E A
[Verse]
A E
Oh! a man must feel revengeful for a boyhood such as mine.
A
God! I hate the very houses near the workshop by the line;
A7 D
And the smell of railway stations, and the roar of running gear,
A E A
And the scornful-snearing signboards, saying 'Second class wait here.'
[Verse]
A E
There's a train with Death for driver, which is ever going past,
A
There will be no class compartments, when it's all aboard at last
A7 D
For the long white jasper platform with an Eden in the rear;
A E A
And there won't be any signboards, saying 'Second class wait here.'
[Tag]
E A
Oh no there won't be any signboards, saying 'Second class wait here.'
