Trains Make Me Lonesome chords by George Strait

Intro:

E

Verse 1:

                           B7            E
I was five years old when daddy started packin'

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

         A
And the next thing that we knew,

          E                   C#m
Some old train came passin' through

     F#                         B7
And Daddy got on board, and we ain't seen him no more


Chorus:

   E          B7             E
I wonder why trains make me lonesome

    A                             E
It happens everytime that engine moans some

            A
And when I hear that whistle blow

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

        F#         B7           A              E
And I wonder why trains make me lo - o - one - some


Verse 2:

          E                       B7               E
It was a cold dark night when I drove her to the depot

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

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

      F#                            B7
So I turned and walked away, but I still miss her today


Chorus:

   E          B7             E
I wonder why trains make me lonesome

    A                             E
It happens everytime that engine moans some

            A
And when I hear that whistle blow

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

        F#         B7           A              E
And I wonder why trains make me lo - o - one - some


Verse 3:

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

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

          Am                                E            C#m
And this couch on which I lay, supposed to haul my blues away

          F#                              B7
That old pipe you keep tokin' is like an old cold enging smokin'


Chorus:

   E          B7             E
I wonder why trains make me lonesome

    A                             E
It happens everytime that engine moans some

            A
And when I hear that whistle blow

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

        F#         B7            A              E
And I wonder why trains make me lo - o - one - some


Outro:

          F#         B7             A              E
Oh yes I wonder why trains make me lo - o - one - some
