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

But I lived a blind life
G#
A white face in prison

But you made a life out of nothing
Now I ride my black horse

I miss you more

Than youll ever ever know
F#
Waiting with my red eyes
And my stone heart

The light in my life burnt away

Then you sigh in your sleep
A E D
And meaning returns with the day
