Jimmie Standing In The Rain
Tono: Original
verse 1:
C#m Gdim
Third-class ticket in his pocket
D#m Adim
Punching out the shadows underneath the sockets
C#m G# C#m
Tweed coat turned up against the fog
... Ddim
Slow coaches rolling o'er the moor
F#m G#
Between the very memory and approaches of war
Prehorus 1:
C#m F#m
Stale bread curling on a luncheon counter
C#m F#m
Loose change lonely, not the right amount
C#m F#m
Forgotten man of an indifferent nation
C#m F#m
Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station
C#m Gdim
Somebody's calling you again
D#m Adim
The sky is falling
... C#m F#m
Jimmie's standing in the rain![]()
C#m
verse 2:
C#m Gdim
Nobody wants to buy
D#m Adim
a counterfeited prairie lullaby
C#m G# C#m
In a colliery town
... Ddim
The hip flask and fumbled skein
F#m G#
Of some stage door Josephine is all he'll get now
PreChorus 2:
C#m F#m
Eyes going in and out of focus
C#m F#m
Mild and bitter from tuberculosis
C#m F#m
Forgotten man, indifferent nation
C#m F#m
Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station
C#m Gdim
Somebody's calling you again
D#m Adim
The sky is falling
... C#m F#m
Jimmie's standing in the rain![]()
C#m F#m C#m
Bridge:
E
Her soft breath was gentle on his neck
... C#m G# C#m
If he could choose the time to die
... G#
Then he would come and go like this
C#m F#m C#m
Underneath a painted sky
E G#7/D# C#m
She woke up and called him "Charlie" by mistake
... F#m C#m
And then in shame began to cry
E
Tarnished silver band peels off a phrase
G#7/D#
And then warms their hands around the brazier
C#m F#m
Forgotten man, indifferent nation
C#m F#m
Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station
C#m Gdim
Somebody's calling you again
D#m Adim
It's finally dawning
... C#m F#m
Jimmie's standing in the rain![]()
C#m F#m C#m F#m C#m
verse 4: (played sparsely)
C#m Gdim
Brilliantine glistening
D#m Adim
Your soft plaintive whistling
C#m G# C#m
And your wan wandering smile
Ddim
Died down at The Hippodrome
F#m
Now you're walking off to jeers,
E Fdim
the lonely sound of jingling spurs,
F#m B G#
The "toodle-oos" and "Oh, my dears" down at The Argyle
PreChorus 3:
C#m F#m
Vile vaudevillians applaud sobriety
C#m F#m
There's no place for a half-cut cowboy in polite society
C#m F#m
Forgotten man, indifferent nation
C#m F#m
Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station
C#m Gdim
Somebody's calling you again
D#m Adim
It's finally dawning
... C#m F#m
Jimmie's standing in the rain
C#m Gdim
Somebody's calling you again
D#m Adim
It's finally dawning
... C#m F#m
Jimmie's standing in the rain![]()
C#m F#m C#m
