C
[Verse 1]
C
I found her in the city
F C
Put some flowers on her table
F C
It was a cold and windy evening
G
So we lounged across the floor
C
We played our favourite record
F C
That I found in my apartment
F C
In a box we labelled 'Lovers'
G C
In a box we made as friends
[Verse 2]
C
I met up with her off Broadway
F C
Took a walk with her on Sunday
F C
We drove to hear the gospel
G
Put our filthy hands to work
C
I wrote down all my feelings
F C
With a pen and piece of paper
F C
I told her about it later
G C
As I took the long road home
[Chorus]
C Am F C
Look at the flame that is burning in the city
F G C
It is a fire I can't ever put out
C Am F Am F
Look at the flame that is burning in the city
C G Am
I'll take the Long Island Railroad out of town
F G C
I will take the Long Island Railroad out of town
[Verse 3]
C
She left her home in Georgia
F C
Back when she was just a child
F C
A daughter of a preacher
G
In a lovely little world
C
I loved how she would listen
F C
And learn from different scholars
F C
Some are poets, some are authors
G C
Either way I love them all
[Chorus]
C Am F C
Look at the flame that is burning in the city
F G C
It is a fire I can't ever put out
C Am F Am F
Look at the flame that is burning in the city
C G Am
I'll take the Long Island Railroad out of town
F G C
I will take the Long Island Railroad out of town
[Interlude]
C Am F Am G Am F C G
[Chorus]
C Am F C
Look at the flame that is burning in the city
F G C
It is a fire I can't ever put out
C Am F Am F
Look at the flame that is burning in the city
C G Am
I'll take the Long Island Railroad out of town
F G C
I will take the Long Island Railroad out of town
