Capo 2
[INTRO]
[E]
[VERSE 1]
I was five years old when d[B7]addy started p[E]ackin'
And I st[A]ood there by my mama as she c[E]ried
And the n[A]ext thing that we knew,
Some old t[E]rain came passin' th[C#m]rough
And D[F#]addy got on board, and we a[B7]in't seen him no more
[CHORUS]
I w[E]onder why t[B7]rains make me l[E]onesome
It h[A]appens everytime that engine m[E]oans some
And when I h[A]ear that whistle blow
Oh, it ma[E]kes my heart sink [C#m]low
And I wo[F#]nder why tr[B7]ains make me [A]lo - o - one - [E]some
[VERSE 2]
It was a c[E]old dark night when I dr[B7]ove her to the de[E]pot
There were t[A]ears in my eyes, and a ticket in her h[E]and
And as we s[A]tood there by those tracks, I knew she [E]wasn't comin' [C#m]back
So I t[F#]urned and walked away, but I s[B7]till miss her today
[CHORUS]
I w[E]onder why t[B7]rains make me l[E]onesome
It h[A]appens everytime that engine m[E]oans some
And when I h[A]ear that whistle blow
Oh, it ma[E]kes my heart sink [C#m]low
And I wo[F#]nder why tr[B7]ains make me [A]lo - o - one - [E]some
[VERSE 3]
This of[C#m]fice building looks like central s[E]tation,
And those [C#m]ink spots look engine number n[E]ine
And this c[Am]ouch on which I lay, supposed to h[E]aul my blues [C#m]away
That old p[F#]ipe you keep tokin' is like an o[B7]ld cold enging smokin'
[CHORUS]
I w[E]onder why t[B7]rains make me l[E]onesome
It h[A]appens everytime that engine m[E]oans some
And when I h[A]ear that whistle blow
Oh, it ma[E]kes my heart sink [C#m]low
And I wo[F#]nder why tr[B7]ains make me l[A]o - o - one - s[E]ome
[OUTRO]
Oh yes I w[F#]onder why t[B7]rains make me l[A]o - o - one - s[E]ome
