Transposer:

Original song key is F# (tune your guitar down a half step to match) Original song is also in open-tuning; this music is transposed to resemble standard-tuning chords. Tablature written on behalf of Wendy Coup - happy 60th birthday! --------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro]                                                                          [Pre-verse]                             [Verse 1] So you rode from the range where your brothers select Through the ghostly grey bush in the dawn          You rode slowly at first lest her heart should suspect That you were so glad to be gone [Verse 2] You had scarcely the courage to glance back at her By the homestead receding from view          And you breathed with relief as you rounded the spur For the world was a wide world to you [Chorus] Grey eyes that grow sadder than sunset or rain Fond heart that is ever more true Firm faith that grows firmer for watching in vain She’ll wait by the sliprails for you   [Pre-verse]                             [Verse 3] Ah the world is a new and a wide one to you But the world to your sweetheart is shut        For a change never comes to the lonely bush girl From the stockyard the bush and the hut [Verse 4] And the only relief from its dullness she feels Is when ridges grow softened and dim        And away in the dusk to the sliprails she steals To dream of past meetings with you [Chorus] Grey eyes that grow sadder than sunset or rain Fond heart that is ever more true Firm faith that grows firmer for watching in vain She’ll wait by the sliprails for you      [Instrumental]                                                                                           [Verse 5] Do you think where in place of bare fences dry creeks Clear streams and green hedges are seen       Where the girls have lily and rose in their cheeks And the grass in midsummer is green [Verse 6] Do you think now and then now or then in the whirl Of the city while London is new        Of the hut in the bush and the freckled-face girl Who is eating her heart out for you [Chorus] Grey eyes that grow sadder than sunset or rain Fond heart that is ever more true Firm faith that grows firmer for watching in vain She’ll wait by the sliprails for you      [Chorus] Those grey eyes that are sadder than sunset or rain Bruised heart that is ever more true Fond faith that is firmer for trusting in vain She waits by the sliprails for you [Coda] She waits by the sliprails for you Waits by the sliprails for you       Just for you

La chanson évoque une histoire d'amour marquée par la distance et la nostalgie. Le protagoniste part pour explorer le monde, laissant derrière lui une jeune fille solitaire qui attend avec espoir son retour. Ses yeux gris reflètent une tristesse profonde, tandis que sa foi et son amour demeurent intacts malgré les longues heures passées à rêver de lui. Elle se rend compte que sa vie, figée dans la monotonie de la nature, est bien différente de l'effervescence du monde qu'il découvre. Ce contraste entre leurs existences souligne la douleur de leur séparation, mais aussi la force des sentiments qui les lient. Dans cette attente, elle continue de chérir chaque souvenir de leur amour, espérant ardemment le revoir.
