[F#] The trains used to run [C#m] [F#] all across [B] Mexico Way down [F#] to the Yucatan
[C#m] Wherever [B] in hell you know And it was down [E] in San Cristobal
That I first heard [D#m] the sound Of Nina's voice [C#m] on a jukebox
Spinning [F#] darkly around And I was [E] so lost down there
Out of [D#m] love and walking [D#m] alone The walking [C#m] beside me
[F#] Was Nina [B] Simone [B] Tonight in [F#] my dressing room
[E] [A#] Lord the tea kettle [B] rattling [F#] And [B] water [F#] pipes were dripping down
[C#m] On a plate [B] of Spanish apples And outside in [E] the train yard
The trains they [D#m] rattled and moaned It's just Hank [C#m] Williams talking
[C#m] To Nina [F#] Simone [G#] Yeah [F#] we've all [E] been to hell and back
Where love cut us [D#m] right down through the bone
And walking [C#m] beside us [F#] Was Nina [B] Simone

[F#] [B]
I've driven [C#] your highways and back [F#] roads [C#m] I rode [B] your grey dog
Through the smoke [F#] and the sleep in the hill [E] Through the sunlight [B] through the [F#] fall
[B] [B] I've heard the ravens [E] call morning up With their little [D#m] raw saxophone
But the darkest [C#m] of real Was Nina [F#] Simone
[G#] [F#] Yeah we've all been [E] to hell and come back ain't we
Where love cut us [B] right [D#m] down to the bone But walking [C#m] beside us
[F#] Was Nina [B] Simone The trains used [F#] to run all [B] across Mexico
