[Intro]
Bb
[Verse 1]
Bb
Oh, the evening train is rolling
Eb
All along the homeward way
Bb
All my hopes are over the horizon
Bb F Bb
All my dreams have gone away [?]
Bb
The hillside darkly shaded
Eb
Stars fall from above
Bb
All the joys of earth have faded
Bb F Bb
The nights untouched by love
Eb
I’ll be here ’til tomorrow
Bb
Beneath a shroud of gray
Eb
I’ll pretend I’m free from sorrow
Bb F
My heart is miles away
Bb
The dead bells are ringing
Eb
My train is overdue
Bb
To your memory I’m clinging
Bb F Bb
I can’t escape from you
[Interlude]
F Eb Dm
[Verse 2]
Bb
Well I hear the sound of thunder
Eb
Roaring loud and long
Bb
Sometimes you’ve got to wonder
Bb F Bb
God knows I’ve done no wrong
Bb
You’ve wasted all your power
Eb
You threw out the Christmas pie
Bb
Now you wither like a flower
Bb F Bb
You'll play the fool and die
Eb
I’m neither sad nor sorry
Bb
I’m all dressed up in black
Eb
I fought for fame and glory
Bb/F F
You tried to break my back
Bb
In the far-off sweet forever
Eb
The sunshine breaking through
Bb
We should have walked together
Bb F Bb
I can’t escape from you
[Interlude]
F Eb Dm
[Verse 3]
Bb
I cannot grasp the shadows
Eb
That gather near the door
Bb
Rain fall ’round my window
Bb F Bb
I wish I’d seen you more
Bb Bb7
The path is ever winding
Eb
The stars they never age
Bb
The morning light is blinding
Bb F Bb
All the world’s a stage
Eb
Should be the time of gladness
Bb
Happy faces everywhere
Eb
But the mystery of madness
Bb F
Is propagating in the air
Bb
I don’t like the city
Eb
Not like some folks do
Bb
Isn’t it a pity
Bb F Bb
I can’t escape from you
[Interlude]
F Eb Dm
[Verse 4]
Bb Bb7
We plough the fields of heaven
Eb Ab Eb
Right down to the end
Bb
I hope I can be forgiven
Bb F Bb Eb
If any words of mine offend
Bb
All our days were splendid
Eb
They were simple, they were plain
Bb
It never should have ended
Bb F Bb
I should have kissed you in the rain
Eb
I’ve been thinking things all over
Bb Bb7
All the moments full of grace
Eb
The primrose and the clover
Bb F
Your ever-changing face
Bb
Can’t help looking at ya
Eb
You made love with God knows who
Bb
Never found a gal to match ya
Bb F Bb
I can't escape from you
[Interlude]

oh, the evening train is rolling
all along the homeward way
all my hopes are over the horizon
all my dreams have gone away
the hillside darkly shaded
stars falling from above
all the joys of earth have faded
the night’s untouched, my love
i’ll be here ’til tomorrow
beneath a shroud of gray
i pretend i’m free of sorrow
my heart is miles away
the dead bells are ringing
my train is overdue
to your memory i’m clinging
i can’t escape from you
well, i hear the sound of thunder
roaring loud and long
sometimes you got to wonder
god knows i’ve done no wrong
how you’ve wasted all your power
you threw out the christmas pie
now you’re withering like a flower
you’ll play the fool and die
i’m neither sad nor sorry
i’m all dressed up in black
i fought for fame and glory
and you tried to break my back
in the far off sweet forever
the sunshine peeking through
we should’ve walked together
i can’t escape from you
i cannot grasp the shadows
that gather near the door
rainfall around my window
i wish i’d seen you more
the path is ever winding
the stars they never age
the morning light is blinding
all the world’s a stage
should be the time of gladness
happy faces everywhere
the mystery of madness
is propagating in the air
i don’t like the city
not like some folks do
isn’t it a pity
i can’t escape from you?
we ploughed the fields of heaven
right down to the end
i hope i can be forgiven
if any words of mine offend
all our days were splendid
they were simple, they were plain
it never should have ended
i should’ve kissed you in the rain
i’ve been thinking things all over
all the moments full of grace
the primrose and the clover
your ever-changing face
can’t help looking at you
you made love with god knows who
never found a gal to match you
i can’t escape from you
