_ _ I'd _ _ [C] been speeding on [G] a train that [C] would take me home [F]

I [D] kissed my mother at the [G] station door

round _ [C] smiles on every face I [F]
found
_ [G] Well I missed the one that I was [Em] waiting [C] for
You _ _ _ could hear the children singing _ [F] as she bid farewell [C] to me
