D  G  Em  A7

[Verse 1]
          D                  G     Em                     A7
I’m gonna tie myself to that rocket, at the centre of the square
D                G      Em              A7
 Timetable in my pocket – for God knows where
F#          G     F#                          G
 So long Mr Laird,  although you never really cared
D                          Bm                Em      A7
 You were the only one who heard my constant sobbing.

[Chorus]
D          G              Em             A
 Frequent electric trains   took away my true love
D          G              Em               A
 Frequent electric trains,   I hope you’re proud
F#             G     F#          G
 Forever underground;  oh, so profound
D              Bm               Em         A7       D  A7  D  A7
 Curse your convenience frequent  electric trains.

[Verse 2]
D            G        Em               A7
 Waiting for lift off,  a chance to reflect
D              G        Em               A7
 Wrapped up in tin foil   with fuel to inject
F#          G         F#                   G
 Commencing countdown  I need a high for a low
D            Bm               Em             A7
 Amidst this listed splendour  I watched her go.

[Chorus]
D          G              Em          A
 Frequent electric trains   did me no favours
D          G              Em             A
 Frequent electric trains   caused me to grieve
F#                 G    F#                 G
 I thought we were fine  then she saw your sign
D                Bm               Em         A7
 You eased her departure frequent   electric trains.

[Outro]
F#               G         F#             G
Goodbye Georgian elegance;  at least you tried
D                    Bm    Em                          A7
 Farewell Great Uncle Allen - I’ll see you on the other side.
D          G               D          G
 Frequent electric trains,  frequent electric trains
D          G               D          G
 Frequent electric trains,  frequent electric trains
D               G          D                 G
Action stations, stand by, cross my legs and hope to fly
D          G
 Frequent electric trains
D                  G   D                   G
Ice cream for crow,    Thunderbirds are go
D          G             D          G
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three,
D         G
Two, one, gone.
