Somewhere in England 1915 Chords by Al Stewart

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] On the platform of an old railway station I [C] enter a dream
And _ _ _ [Dm] a couple is saying goodbye through the noise [C] and the steam
But _ _ _ [G]
it's just brief encounter, my mind [E] is trying to [Am] rerun
And _ _ _ _ [G]
I wait for the poignant finale, but the dream [C] has moved on _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] And the train has turned into a ship that is [C] sailing away
And _ _ _ [Dm] the platform is a beach full of shells under [C]
silvery grey
And _ _ _ [G] the girl on the beach is an English [E] Prime [Am] Minister's daughter
_ And _ _ _ [G] she watches the ship disappear at the edge [C] of the water _ _ _ _ _
[F] And it feels like the pain in her heart will be [Em] never ending
_ And _ _ _
[Dm] everyone feels [G] this way _ in [C] the beginning
And _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] she watches the ship disappear by the length of [C] a sigh
And _ _ _ [Dm] the maker of rhymes on the deck who is going [C] to die _ _ _ _ _
[G] In the corner of some foreign field [E] that'll make him [Am] so famous
As _ _ _ [G] the light temporarily shines to illumine [C] his pages _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] Then the scene has changed once again, now it's moonlight [C] on wire
And _ _ _ [Dm] the night is disturbed by a sudden volcano [C] of fire _ _ _ _ _
[G] And a skull in a trench gazes up, [E] open [Am] mouthed at the moon _ _ _ _ _
[G] And the poets are now awkward on and seek [C] freedom so soon _ _ _ _ _
[F] And nobody talks anymore about losing [Em] and winning
And _ _ _ _
[Dm] everyone feels [G] that way _ [C] in the beginning _ _ _ _ _
And I'm up in [G] the air [F] looking down [G] at a girl [C] on a bed
_ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _
[C] She's lying [G] asleep on [F] her side [G] with a book at [C] her head
[F] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _
[C] And it's someone [G] who left [F] long ago, [G] was it [C] something I said?
[F] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _
[C] And I hope that [G] she's reading [F] Kingly, [G] but it's Twelfth [C] Night instead _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] Now the girl and the beach and the train and the ship [C] are all gone
And _ _ _ [Dm] the calendar up on the wall says it's ninety [C] years on _ _ _ _ _
[G] And I go out into the yard [E] while the newspaper [Am] waits
There's _ _ _ [G] a man on the cover we all know, _ [C] defying the face
And _ _ _ [F] he seems very sure as he offers up [Em] his opinion _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] Well everyone feels [G] like this in [C] the beginning
When _ _ _ [F] you feel that the pain in your heart will [Em] be unending _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] Everyone feels [G] this way in [C] the beginning _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _

[Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [G] _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] If you feel that the pain in your heart will be [Em] never ending _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] Well everyone feels [G] that way in [C] the beginning _ _ _ _ _ _
