[Verse 1]
G                                                                         D
  By the time I get to Phoenix was the last song on your mind the day you left

                                                                  G   F C G
Then you woke up in Nogales with Tequila and her name across your chest

                                                                         D
And you stumbled through the morning in these border tourists' dusty avenues

                                                                           G   F C G
Singing every day's the hurting kind and everyday you live, you're born to lose
[Chorus]
                          C D
You missed the last train home

                               G F C G
The whistle blew and now she's gone

                             C
West Texas dust beneath your nails

D                                     G    F C G
  You're hammered down the heartbreak trail

                          C  D
You missed the last train home

                               G   F C G  F C G
That whistle blew, she's solid gone
[Verse 2]
            G                                                     D
Now, you're wandering El Paso searching for your broken heart and truth

                                                            G   F C G
She was all you ever had and the only thing you ever had to lose

                                                                             D
And with a juke box playing Charlie Rich you're lining up your shots at half past noon

                                                                                     G   F C G
And you threw your ring across the bar and sang along to good time Charlie's got the blues
[Chorus]
                          C D
You missed the last train home

                               G F C G
The whistle blew and now she's gone

                             C
West Texas dust beneath your nails

D                                   G F C G
  You're headed down the heartbreak trail
[Chorus]
                          C  D
You missed the last train home

                          G F C G
Whistle blew, she's solid gone

                              C  D
Don't go to Tulsa where she's bound

                            G F C G
You'll end up six feet underground

                                C D
Your ex-friend Charlie's there about

                               G F C G
He never missed the last train out
[Outro]
                          C D
You missed the last train home

                               G F C G
That whistle blew, she's solid gone

                          C D
You missed the last train home

                               G  F C G  F C G  F C G
That whistle blew, she's solid gone
