Where [Em] the key to my [C] survival [Bm] was never in [Em] much doubt
The question was how [Bm] I could keep sane
Trying to find the [C] way out
[Em] Things were never [C] easy for me
[Bm] Peace of mind was hard [Em] to find
And I'm needing a place where [A] I could hide
[C] Somewhere I could call [Em] home
I didn't think much [C] about it
Till [D] it started happening all the [Em]
time
Soon I was living with [D] the fear everyday
[Bm] Of what might happen [C] that night
I [Em] couldn't stand to [C] hear the crying of [D] my mother
And I [B] remember when I [D] swore that
That would be the last thing [A]
she'd need
[Am] And I never went home [G] again
But [D] they say that time is [E] a healer
And [D] I'm a woman of a [E] lot of sin
And when it [D] fell [E] in my heart and my mouth
I [D] had to hear [E] what he said
[C] He sat me down to [G] talk to me
[D] He looked me straight [Am] in the eyes
And [G] he said
[C] You're no [Bm] son, you're no [C] son of [D] [C] [G]
[C] [G] mine
You walked out, you [C] left us [G] behind
And you're no [C] son, no you're no [G] son of mine
[C] These [G] [C] words are the one that [D] I'll never [G] forget
[D] And [C]
[D] [C] as the [D] time [C] it went by, I [D] lived to [Em] regret it
You're no [C] son, you're no son of [D] mine
But where should I go, please tell me what [Em] should I do
You're no [C] son, you're no son of mine
[D] I came here for help, [C] oh I [D] was looking [Em] for you
[C] [D] [Em]
Well [D]
[Bm] [C]
[Em] the years may pass [C] so slowly
[D] And I thought about him [Bm] everyday
What [Em] would I do if [D] he passed on the street
[Bm] Would I keep running [C] away
[Em] And I'm out [C] of hiding places
[D] Soon I'd have to face [Bm] the fact
That [D] I'd have to sit down [A] and talk it over
[C] And I couldn't go [G] back
[D] They say that time is [E] a healer
And [D] I'm a woman of a lot of [E] sin
[D] Well I rang that bell with [E] my heart in my mouth
I [D] had to hear what [E] he said
[C] He sat me down and [G] talked to me
[D] And he looked me straight in [Am] the eyes
And he [G] said
You're no son, [D] you're no [C] son of [D] mine
[C] You're no son, [G] no you're no son of mine
You walked out, [C] you left us [G] behind
And you're no son, [C] no you're no [D] son of [G] mine
[C] No [G] son, no son
[C] All those words I let out
[D] I'll never [G] forget
[D] [C]
[D] [C] [D] And as the time [C] went by
[D] I looked [Em] to regret it
You're no [C] son, you're no son of [D] mine
But we'll see what I do
Please tell me what should [Em] I do
You're no [C] son, you're no son of mine
[D] I came here for help
[C] Oh I was [D] looking [Em] for you
You're no [C] son, you're no son of mine
[D] [Em] You're no son
Oh yeah, you're no son [C] of mine
[D] You're no [B] son, you're no [Em] son of mine
[C]
[D] [Bm] [Em]
[C]
[D] [Bm]
[Em] [C] You're no son
You're no son of mine
You're no [D] son, you're no son
[Em] You're no son of mine

[N] Good evening London, and anywhere else you've travelled from.
So, thanks for coming.
Now there is a strong possibility of tonight playing a few old songs.
And of course, quite a few new songs.
And maybe some very, very, very, very old songs.
This next song is a new one and it's all about the building [G] of the English Railways.
[N] And it tells the story of all those men that left their families and loved ones behind them
and went off in search of an adventure, a good job, they thought.
And a lot of these guys never came home again because of the terrible accidents that happened.
And it's the story of the railways as seen through one man's eyes.
It's called Driving the Last Spike.
