Johnny Cash – The Evening Train (Guitar)

C                           F
I heard the laughter at the depot,

             G             C
But my tears fell like the rain

                                       F
When I saw them place that long, white casket

               C    F               C
In the baggage coach of the evening train.

                             F
The baby's eyes are red from weepin'

            G                    C
It's little heart is filled with pain.

                                       F
"Oh, daddy," it cried, "they're taking mama

          C  F               C
Away from us  on the evening train."

C                                 F
As I turned to walk away from the depot,

            G                 C
It seemed I heard her call my name

                                    F
"Take care of my baby and tell him, darling'

               C   F               C
That I'm going home on the evening train.

                             F
I pray that God will give me courage

         G               C
To carry on till we meet again.

                             F
It's hard to know she's gone forever.

                     C   F               C
They're carrying her home on the evening train

                             F
I pray that God will give me courage

         G               C
To carry on till we meet again.

                             F
It's hard to know she's gone forever.

                     C   F               C
They're carrying her home on the evening train

                     C   F               C     F/C
They're carrying her home on the evening train
