Merle Haggard – The Train Never Stops At Our Town (Guitar)

C                       F                     G       G7
For years I've tried to leave this poor man's valley

     F                   C             A#     G7
On a train that's on its way to richer ground

      C            C7           F                C
Where rivers never overflow and dreams cannot be drowned

        F           G            C
But the train never stops at our town

                  F              G        G7
I'd like to buy a mansion for my darling

       F          C                A#    G7
On our way upon a mountain looking down

  C                     C7                  F             C
I know there's restless gold out there just waitin' to be found

        F           G            C
But the train never stops at our town

G                                C
Failure has to find something to blame

        D7                                 G     G7
And the only thing that's left is that old flame

    C               F                G      G7
The darkness of the night catches me crying

  F                 C               A#      G7
A whistle soon will blow a lonesome sound

  C               C7                 F                    C
A spark of hope becomes a flame each time the train slows down

        F           G            C
But the train never stops at our town

         F           G            C
That old train never stops at our town
