Am Across the dark and dusty plain C Where scars of old dry rivers run Dm Night unfolds, a coal black shroud F Across the hard and stony ground Am Distant stars shining bright A# In the cavern of the night Dm All is still and silence screams C To the thunder of the Lorca train Flaming steel as swift as wind The wires hum and the rails, they ring Smokestack burning, fiery sparks Rise up and to the stars Towns asleep by empty roads Churches rise from crooked roofs Cloaked in darkness nothing stirs Grow smaller, darker, disappears Chorus: F See the moon so still and cold Dm A million stars that shed no warmth Am Your nightmares all come out to play C In the silver light F Wait for sunrise in the east Dm Long shadows crawl across the plain Am The ghosts of night will disappear C And lay your fears to rest Steam hissed up, the hot coals glowed The furnace blazed, the wheels they rolled On tracks of iron straight and cold The silver moonlight danced The flames are in the fireman's eye Orange in the engine's glow Gleaming pistons, whirling cranks Wait for dawn and the rooster's crow Chorus | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA# Am C Dm F Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
