Chorus:
       F#m     D      E
And you don't need to know why when you cry
     F#m     D
You don't need to know why

Verse 2:
F#m   E   F#m   D
Violet's eyes, Violet plays
 A     D      E
Going back home to the Great Lakes
     F#m   E
Where the cattail sways
     F#m   D
With the lonesome loon
 A      D     E
Riding that train in late June


Chorus:
     F#m   D     E
With the windows wide by my side
     F#m   D
With the windows wide
     F#m   D     E
With the windows wide by my side


Verse 3:
     F#m   E      F#m  D
And the clusters fell, like an empty bell
A    D       E
Meteor shower at the motel
      F#m  E     F#m  D
Where the empty space is a saving grace
A      D     E
Making good time and doing well
     F#m    E      F#m   D
Still the question sings, like Saturn's rings
 A     D       E
Maybe she knows and she won't tell


Chorus:

       F#m     D      E
But you don't need to know why when you cry
     F#m     D
You don't need to know why
     F#m     D      E
You don't need to know why when you cry

Instrumental:
F#m E
F#m D
A  D E

Verse 4:
   F#m    E       F#m   D
And I find you there in your country flair
 A      D     E
Middle of the river in a lawn chair
      F#m   E       F#m  D
With your wrinkled hands and your silver hair
 A      D      E
Leaving here soon and you know where
       F#m   E       F#m   D
To where the cattail sways with the lonesome loon
      A      D       E
You'll be riding that train in late June


Chorus:
     F#m   D       E
With the windows wide by your side
     F#m   D
With the windows wide
     F#m   D       E
With the windows wide by your side
     F#m     D
You don't need to know why
     F#m     D      E
You don't need to know why when you cry

Instrumental:
F#m E
F#m D
A  D E
