Tom Waits – Train Song (Guitar)

     C               F          C
Well I broke down in East Saint Louis

       Am     F    C
On the Kansas City line

      C        F      Am
and I drunk up all my money

       D7             G7
that I borrowed every time

      C         F      C
and I fell down at the derby

            Am      F          C
and now the night's black as a crow

         C          F        Am
It was a train that took me away from here

      D7          G7       C     F/C C
but a train can't bring me home

     C       F         C
What made my dreams so hollow

      Am       F            C
I was standing there at the depot

       C       F       Am
with a steeple full of swallows

           D7             G7
that could never ring the bell

      C        F              C
and I come ten thousand miles away

     Am      F        C
with not one thing to show

              C          F        Am
well it was a train that took me away from here

      D7          G7       C     F/C  C
but a train can't bring me home

    C      F      C
I remember when I left

        Am    F      C
without bothering to pack

    C      F      Am
you know I up and left with

                D7                  G7
nothin' but the clothes I had on my back

        C         F         C
now I'm sorry for what I've done

        Am       F     C
and I'm out here on my own

              C          F        Am
well it was a train that took me away from

           D7          G7       C     F/C   C
here but a train can't bring me home 

                  C          F        Am        
it must've been a train that took me away from here

      D7         G7                           C     F/C  C
but a train can't bring me ... can't bring me home
