This one's called Westbound Train.
The road was dark and [E] long, and you [Am] heard [D] a woman playing louder than [Em] anyone you'd heard [Am] before.
Oh, [D] [Gm] I know [B] that [E] song.
She [Am] used to sing to [D] me all night long.
And when the music stopped [C] by, [Em] I [Am] was gone.
[D] [Am] Now those songs escape [D] my ears.
But [Am] to you there, ain't it [D] clear?
All that [C] westbound train, [D] howdy, he passed me [G] by.
And I know just why [C] you'd wanna hitch a ride.

You said yourself this is [E] a game you know [Am] how to play.
[D] It ain't [F#m] right, it [E] ain't wrong, but there's [Am] no [D] sorrow in this song.
I knew it wouldn't be [B] too long [Am] before she moved on.
[D] [Am] And I've moved [D] on too.
[Am] I ain't got nothing but love for [D] you.

Great [Am] rearrangers changing everything [D] again.
Thought [Am] you stranger when I knew you way [D] back when.
We are [Am] older now, and there's no need [D] to pretend.
That [Am] anything we have in life means more [D] than friends.
All [C] that westbound [D] train, howdy, he passed me by.
