It Takes A Lot To Laugh It Takes A Train To Cry

G


[Verse 1]

G
Well, I ride on a mail-train
C              G
I can't buy no thrill
G
I've been up all night
     C                    G
Just leanin' on the windowsill
           F
Well, if I die
   C          D
On top of the hill
       G
And if I don't make it
G
You know my baby will


[Verse 2]

G
Well, don't the moon look good, mama
C                   G
Shinin' through the trees?
G
And don't the brakeman look good, mama
C                         G
Flagging down the "Double E"?
                       F
And don't the sun look good
        C             D
Settin' down over the sea?
             G
And don't my little gal look fine
           C            G
When she's comin' after me?
G
Now, come on

[Verse 3]

G
Now, wintertime is coming
    C                   G
The windows are covered in frost
G
I went to tell everybody
      C              G
But I could not get across
                      F
Well, I wanna be your lover, babe
C                D
I don't wanna be your boss
      G
Don't say I never warned you
C                    G
When your train gets lost, yeah
