Well I broke down in East Saint Louis

and I fell down at the derby
Am F C
and now the night's black as a crow
C F Am
It was a train that took me away from here
D7 G7 C F/C C
but a train can't bring me home
C F C
What made my dreams so hollow
Am F C
I was standing there at the depot
C F Am
with a steeple full of swallows
D7 G7
that could never ring the bell
C F C
and I come ten thousand miles away
Am F C
with not one thing to show
C F Am
well it was a train that took me away from here
D7 G7 C F/C C
but a train can't bring me home

I remember when I left
Am F C
without bothering to pack
C F Am
you know I up and left with
D7 G7
nothin' but the clothes I had on my back
C F C
now I'm sorry for what I've done
Am F C
and I'm out here on my own
C F Am
well it was a train that took me away from

here but a train can't bring me home
C F Am
it must've been a train that took me away from here
D7 G7 C F/C C
but a train can't bring me ... can't bring me home
