Trains Make Me Lonesome chords
Start Jamming...
[F#] I was five years [C#] old when daddy started [F#] packing
And [B] I stood there by my mama as she [F#] cried
And [B] the next thing that we knew
[F#] Some old train came passing [D#] through
And [G#]
daddy got on board
And [C#] we ain't seen him no [D#m] more
[C#] I [F#]
wonder why [C#] trains make [F#] me lonesome
[B]
It happens every time that in [F#] June I'm lonesome
But [B] I hear that whistle blow
[F#] That makes my heart sing [D#] below
And I [G#]
wonder why [C#] trains make [B] me [F#] lonesome
On a cold dark night [C#] when I drove her to [F#] the depot
There [B] were tears in my eyes and a ticket in [F#] her hand
And [B] as we stood there by those tracks
I [F#] knew she wasn't coming [D#]
back
So [G#] I turned and walked away
But [C#] I still miss her today
[F#] [C#] [F#] I wonder [C#] why trains [F#] make me lonesome
[B] It happens every time that in [F#] June I'm lonesome
But [B] I hear that whistle blow
[F#] That makes my heart sing [D#] below
And [G#] I wonder why [C#]
trains make [B] me [F#]
lonesome
[C#] [D#m] This office building looks like [F#] Central Station
And [C#] [D#m] those ink spots look like Engine [F#] Number Nine
And [C#] [A#m] [Bm] this couch on which I lay
Is [F#] supposed to haul my blues [D#] away
That [G#] old pipe that you keep toking
It's [C#] like an old coal engine smoking [D#m] doctor
[C#] [F#] I wonder [C#] why trains make [F#] me lonesome
[B]
It happens every time that in [F#] June I'm lonesome
But [B] I hear that whistle blow
[F#] That makes my heart [D#] sing below
And I [G#]
wonder why [C#] trains make [B] me [F#] lonesome
Oh [D#] yes I [G#] wonder why [C#]
trains make [B] me [F#]
lonesome
