Trains Make Me Lonesome chords by George Strait

Chords with lyrics

Intro:

E MajorE

Verse 1:

              B7B7      E MajorE
I was five years old when daddy started packin'

    A augmentedA              E MajorE
And I stood there by my mama as she cried

     A augmentedA
And the next thing that we knew,

     E MajorE          C# minorC#m
Some old train came passin' through

   F#F#             B7B7
And Daddy got on board, and we ain't seen him no more

Chorus:

  E MajorE     B7B7       E MajorE
I wonder why trains make me lonesome

  A augmentedA               E MajorE
It happens everytime that engine moans some

      A augmentedA
And when I hear that whistle blow

     E MajorE         C# minorC#m
Oh, it makes my heart sink low

    F#F#     B7B7      A augmentedA       E MajorE
And I wonder why trains make me lo - o - one - some


Verse 2:

     E MajorE            B7B7        E MajorE
It was a cold dark night when I drove her to the depot

      A augmentedA                   E MajorE
There were tears in my eyes, and a ticket in her hand

      A augmentedA                   E MajorE       C# minorC#m
And as we stood there by those tracks, I knew she wasn't comin' back

   F#F#              B7B7
So I turned and walked away, but I still miss her today

Chorus:

  E MajorE     B7B7       E MajorE
I wonder why trains make me lonesome

  A augmentedA               E MajorE
It happens everytime that engine moans some

      A augmentedA
And when I hear that whistle blow

     E MajorE         C# minorC#m
Oh, it makes my heart sink low

    F#F#     B7B7      A augmentedA       E MajorE
And I wonder why trains make me lo - o - one - some


Verse 3:

    C# minorC#m                E MajorE
This office building looks like central station,

     C# minorC#m              E MajorE
And those ink spots look engine number nine

     A minorAm                E MajorE      C# minorC#m
And this couch on which I lay, supposed to haul my blues away

     F#F#               B7B7
That old pipe you keep tokin' is like an old cold enging smokin'


Chorus:

  E MajorE     B7B7       E MajorE
I wonder why trains make me lonesome

  A augmentedA               E MajorE
It happens everytime that engine moans some

      A augmentedA
And when I hear that whistle blow

     E MajorE         C# minorC#m
Oh, it makes my heart sink low

    F#F#     B7B7      A augmentedA       E MajorE
And I wonder why trains make me lo - o - one - some


Outro:

     F#F#     B7B7       A augmentedA       E MajorE
Oh yes I wonder why trains make me lo - o - one - some
