Just like birds of a feather

There's a train down at the station

It's come to carry my bones away
G           D
Two engines on

Twenty-one coaches long
G      D
End to end

The watchman's out

Kickin' the bums about

If I wait for the right moment

You can bet I'll climb aboard unseen

I know I can do it in my sleep

Kickin'the bums about
G              D

As I leave you in the sunset

Got one more nothin' I'd like to say
G               D
"You don't know me
F        C          G            G
A son of the sea am I"
G    D      C       C
As I say to you, my brother
G      G       Em                Em
If you live to follow the golden sun
G          D
You better beware

Knowin' the watchman's always there

[Verse 5]
G     D        C       C
If you find me feedin' daisies
G           G                 Em              Em
Please turn my face up to the sky
G            D
And leave me be
F        C             G            G
Watchin' the moon roll by
G          D
Whatever I was
F        C          G
You know it was all because
G                D
I've been on the town
F       C           G              G
Washin' my troubles down

Kickin' your dreams about
G           D
It feels so good
F           C          G             G
Knowin' the watchman's gone

It's like a song
F           C          G                  G
Knowin' the watchman's gone
