[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
B7 E I was five years old when daddy started packin' A E And I stood there by my mama as she cried A And the next thing that we knew, E C#m Some old train came passin' through F# B7 And Daddy got on board, and we ain't seen him no more
[Chorus]
E B7 E I wonder why trains make me lonesome A E It happens everytime that engine moans some A And when I hear that whistle blow E C#m Oh, it makes my heart sink low F# B7 A E And I wonder why trains make me lo - o - one - some
[Verse 2]
E B7 E It was a cold dark night when I drove her to the depot A E There were tears in my eyes, and a ticket in her hand A E C#m And as we stood there by those tracks, I knew she wasn't comin' back F# B7 So I turned and walked away, but I still miss her today
[Chorus]
E B7 E I wonder why trains make me lonesome A E It happens everytime that engine moans some A And when I hear that whistle blow E C#m Oh, it makes my heart sink low F# B7 A E And I wonder why trains make me lo - o - one - some
[Verse 3]
C#m E This office building looks like central station, C#m E And those ink spots look engine number nine Am E C#m And this couch on which I lay, supposed to haul my blues away F# B7 That old pipe you keep tokin' is like an old cold enging smokin'
[Chorus]
E B7 E I wonder why trains make me lonesome A E It happens everytime that engine moans some A And when I hear that whistle blow E C#m Oh, it makes my heart sink low F# B7 A E And I wonder why trains make me lo - o - one - some
[Outro]
F# B7 A E Oh yes I wonder why trains make me lo - o - one - some
