Intro:  A G# G F# F  

Bb                    G#         
Theres a graveyard by the station 
        F# 
Where the girls wear nylon skirts and 
Sandals from Hungary 
Bb 
The boys ride their Riga 1s 
G# 
Upon the little hill 
F# 
Such sadness and grief 
The trees die standing 
Bb 
Thats where we made our trysts 
      G# 
And struggled with our guns 
F# 
Would you still love me 
If the clocks could go backwards 
Bb 
The girls would fill with blood and 
G# 
The grass would be green again 
F# 
Remember the dead 
They were so great 
Some of them
