It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry

[Intro] G  C/C

G
Well, I drive a mailtrain, baby
G
Can't buy a thrill
G
Well, I've been up all night, baby
G
Leanin' on the windowsill
      G7       C             D     D7
Well, If I die on top of the hill
G
And if I don't make it
G
You know my baby will

G
Don't the moon look good, mama
G
Shinin’ through the trees?
G
Don't the brakeman look good, mama
G
Flagging down the “Double E”
G                   G7
Don’t the sun look good
       C             D     D7
Goin’ down over the sea?
     G
But, don’t my gal look fine
G
When she’s comin’ after me

[Solo de gaita]

G
Now, the wintertime is coming
G
The windows are filled with frost
G
I went to tell everybody
G
But I could not get across
        G7
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby
C                     D     D7
I don’t wanna be your boss
     G
Don’t say I never warned you
G
When your train gets lost

[Solo final de gaita]
