Lindisfarne - Kings Cross Blues Ukulele

CAPO: 2nd Fret



[INTRO (fade in):] C

[VERSE 1:]

Early train starts on time
G
Everybody else is feeling fine

Reading the papers and studying the form
        F                          C
And the people just taking this as norm


[VERSE 2:]
      G
Except me
F                                                   C
I don't seem to function 'til at least a quarter-to-three
             G
Stare at the floor
F                                              C
I don't want to take this Kings Cross train no more



[VERSE 3:]

I'm drinking whiskey at the bar
G
Can't afford the dining car

Ruddy faced soldiers drink and curse
F                                   C
Find themselves out if it gets much worse


[VERSE 4:]
          G
Grates on me
       F                                  C
'Cause I don't even share the same philosophy
            G
Leaving the bar
        F                                                  C
Well, I wish that Kings Cross station didn't have to be so far

[VERSE 5:]

Well, taking this journey to the South
G
To find work to feed the extra mouth

Find it hard, I to have to say
       F                        C
'Cause they don't talk the same way


[VERSE 6:]
         G
Grates on me
      F                                  C
Well, I don't even share the same philosophy
            G
Leaving the bar
    F                                                  C
Oh, wish that Kings Cross station didn't have to be so far
