George Strait – Trains Make Me Lonesome chords

[Intro]

E

[Verse 1]
                           B7            EI was five years old when daddy started packin'
        A                            EAnd I stood there by my mama as she cried
         AAnd the next thing that we knew,
          E                   C#mSome old train came passin' through
     F#                         B7And Daddy got on board, and we ain't seen him no more


[Chorus]
   E          B7             EI wonder why trains make me lonesome
    A                             EIt happens everytime that engine moans some
            AAnd when I hear that whistle blow
         E                 C#mOh, it makes my heart sink low
        F#         B7           A              EAnd I wonder why trains make me lo - o - one - some


[Verse 2]
          E                       B7               EIt was a cold dark night when I drove her to the depot
            A                                     EThere were tears in my eyes, and a ticket in her hand
           A                                      E             C#mAnd as we stood there by those tracks, I knew she wasn't comin' back
      F#                            B7So I turned and walked away, but I still miss her today


[Chorus]
   E          B7             EI wonder why trains make me lonesome
    A                             EIt happens everytime that engine moans some
            AAnd when I hear that whistle blow
         E                 C#mOh, it makes my heart sink low
        F#         B7           A              EAnd I wonder why trains make me lo - o - one - some


[Verse 3]
       C#m                               EThis office building looks like central station,
          C#m                           EAnd those ink spots look engine number nine
          Am                                E            C#mAnd this couch on which I lay, supposed to haul my blues away
          F#                              B7That old pipe you keep tokin' is like an old cold enging smokin'


[Chorus]
   E          B7             EI wonder why trains make me lonesome
    A                             EIt happens everytime that engine moans some
            AAnd when I hear that whistle blow
         E                 C#mOh, it makes my heart sink low
        F#         B7            A              EAnd I wonder why trains make me lo - o - one - some


[Outro]
          F#         B7             A              EOh yes I wonder why trains make me lo - o - one - some
