Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
C majorC             FF
I broke down in East Saint Louis
C majorC      FF
Kansas City line
C majorC        A minorAm
drunk up all my money
    D7D7       G7G7
that I borrowed every time


   C majorC        FF
and I fell down at the derby
C majorC         FF
night's black as a crow
     C majorC   A minorAm
It was a train got me here
  D7D7     G7G7   C majorC   FF C majorC FF
no train gonna take me home

Verse 2:
C majorC           FF
What made my dreams so hollow
C majorC        FF
standing at that depot
C majorC        A minorAm
steeple full of blackbirds
      D7D7       G7G7
they could never ring the bell
   C majorC        FF
I've come ten thousand miles
C majorC          FF
i've got nothing to show
     C majorC      A minorAm
it was a train got me here
  D7D7      G7G7    C majorC
no train gonna get me home

C majorC        FF
Remember when I left
C majorC        FF
I didn't even pack
 C majorC           A minorAm
I just up and went with nothing
     D7D7        G7G7
but this dress here on my back
   C majorC       FF
I am sorry for the things I've done
C majorC       FF
out here on my own
     C majorC   A minorAm
it was a train got me here
  D7D7     G7G7   C majorC   FF
no train gonna get me home

a train got me here
           D7D7     G7G7      C majorC
there ain't no kinda train ever gonna get me home
