Theres a graveyard by the station
                 F#
Where the girls wear nylon skirts and
F#
Sandals from Hungary
Bbm
The boys ride their Riga 1s
G#
Upon the little hill
F#
Such sadness and grief
F#
The trees die standing
Bbm
Thats where we made our trysts
      G#
And struggled with our guns
F#
Would you still love me
F#
If the clocks could go backwards
Bbm
The girls would fill with blood and
G#
The grass would be green again
F#
Remember the dead
F#
They were so great some of them

Blood blood blood

Bbm
But I lived a blind life
G#
A white face in prison
F#
But you made a life out of nothing
F#
Now I ride my black horse
Bbm
I miss you more
G#
Than youll ever ever know
F#
Waiting with my red eyes
F#
And my stone heart

Where do the boys lie
Mud mud mud
Bbm
How does the grass grow
Blood blood blood

E               G
I gaze in defeat
D
At the stars in the night
E                G          D
The light in my life burnt away
           E        G+
There will be no tomorrow
F#            F
Then you sigh in your sleep
A            E              D
And meaning returns with the day
