G            Bm                   C
Theres no mistake, i smell that smell,
its that time of year
  G           Bm        C
again, i can taste the air

The clocks go back, railway track
Something blocks the line again
And the train runs late for the first time

A pebble beach, we're underneath
A pier that's just been painted red
Where I heard the news for the first time

Chorus:
Em                                  D
And all the friends lay down the flowers
                                Am7
Sit on the banks and drink for hours
                              C
Talk of the way they saw him last
                        G
Local boy in the photograph
  Bm C
Today

He'll always be 23
Yet the train runs on and on
Past the place they found his clothing

There's no mistake, I smell that smell
It's that time of year again
I can taste the air

The clocks go back, railway track
Something blocks the line again
And the train runs late for the first time today

Chorus

            G
He's gone away
