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

C9           G                   D     (fill 2)

  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

C          G          D             C9                G (back to intro)

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