[INTRO]
[Am] [G] [Am] [G] [Am] [G] [Am] [G]
[VERSE]
Fl[Am]ashman's in the belfry, shouting as loud as he [G]can
[Am]Samson's up all night again, talking about himself
What a [G]wonderful man
And [D]I'm just wild about [Em]Ronnie
And [C]Ronnie's just wild about [D]me
I saw him [Em]selling winter coats on the [C]Portobello Road
I thought, I [D]bet he wishes he was really working for the[Em] NME
[CHORUS]
When the [Am]gang [D]come [G]down here a[D]gain
And they're [Am]phoning up Australia and they [G]call each other names
And they [Am]all just wanna look like Richard [G]Hell and Tom Verlaine
Some of[Am] my best [C]friends are [G]trains
[VERSE]
Now [Am]Steven's in a sweat, he just can't read Kerouac [G]books, no
And [Am]Robin's all excuses, says he can't find much, but he [G]does look
He goes [D]up to the playfair
He goes [Em]down with the stars
He goes [C]wild all the weekend in a [D]girlfriend's car
And he [Em]calls me from Chelsea and he [C]says it's such a thrill
And though I [D]don't believe a word, but he keeps me [Em]talking
[CHORUS]
Till the [Am]gang [D]come [G]down here a[D]gain
And they're [Am]phoning up Australia and they [G]call each other names
And they [Am]all just wanna look like Richard [G]Hell and Tom Verlaine
Some of[Am] my best [C]friends are [G]trains

[Am] [G] [Am] [G] [Am] [G] [Am] [C] [G]
[VERSE]
And [Am]did you ever have one of those days
Where the [G]world's wide open and you can do anything
And you can [Am]go anywhere and you don't have to think
About [G]who you'll offend every time that you even blink
I'm [D]going to the station where a [Em]big red train
Is [C]waiting to take me to the [D]country again
Then [Em]you'll come from Yonkers, but [C]why should I care
It'll [D]rain and rain for days and days and you[Em] know I won't be there
[CHORUS]
When the [Am]gang [D]come [G]down here a[D]gain
And they're [Am]phoning up Australia and they [G]call each other names
And they [Am]all just wanna look like Richard [G]Hell and Tom Verlaine
Some of[Am] my best [C]friends
[CHORUS]
Yeah, the [Am]gang [D]come [G]down here a[D]gain
And they're [Am]phoning up Australia and they [G]call each other names
And they [Am]all just wanna look like Richard [G]Hell and Tom Verlaine
