Verse:

G            D             Em                                   (open)
It’s late and I can’t sleep, I’ve made promises that I can’t keep
G               D            Em                          A
Cobblestones and broken bones, he has a kingdom but he’s got no home
G                  D              Em
Last night is still ringing in my head
         F         C              D     (fill)
Like that lonesome whistle in the rain

  Oh I’m a fool for a lonesome train

  Oh I’m a fool for a lonesome train


G                D                   Em       (open)
The lifetimes we’ve left behind with strangers
G            D    Em              A
Promises and lies both have their dangers
G               D                Em
I just can’t be wrong enough and I can’t hide for long enough
   F            C           D       (fill 1)
So far away but I still feel your pain

  Lord I’m a fool for a lonesome train
C          G                   D     (fill 2)
  Oh I’m a fool for a lonesome train
C            G             D                 (fill 2)
  Try to say goodbye but I never got your name
C          G                   D      C9
  Oh I’m a fool for a lonesome train

  I’m your fool for a lonesome oh a lonesome lonesome train
