A Poem on the Underground Wall Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D]
[Bm][G][D][Bm]
The last [D]train is

[Verse 1]
nearly due,
The underground is [Bm]closing soon,
And in [G]the dark deser[D]ted station,
Restless in anti[Bm]cipation,
A [G]man waits in [D]the shad[G]ows.
[D]

[Verse 2]
[Bm]His restless eyes [D]leap and scratch,
At all that they [Bm]can touch or catch,
And hidden [D]deep within his pocket,
Safe within its [Bm]silent socket,
He [G]holds a colored [D]cray[G]on.
[D]

[Verse 3]
[Bm]
Now from the tun[D]nel's stony womb,
The carriage rides to [Bm]meet the groom,
And opens [D]wide and welcome doors,
But he hesitates, then with[Bm]draws
[G]Deeper in [D]the shadows.
[Bm]

[Verse 4]
And the train is gone suddenly
On [A]wheels clicking silently
Like a [G]gently tapping [Em]lit any,
And he [Bm]holds his crayon [Em]rosary
Tighter [G]in his [D]hand.[Bm]

[Verse 5]
Now [Bm]from his [G]pocket [D]quick he flashes,
The crayon [A]on [Bm]the wall he slashes,
Deep [D]upon the advertising,
A single [A]worded [Bm]poem comprised
Of four [G]let[D] ters.
[Bm]And his

[Verse 6]
heart is [D]laughing,
screaming, pounding
The poem across [Bm]the track
s rebounding
Shadowed [D]by the exit light
His legs take their as[Bm]cending flight
To [G]seek the [D]breast of darkness
[A]and [G]be suckled [D]by the [Bm]night.
