repeat intro twice

I used to (D)lay awake at(Am7) night
And listen for the (G)train comin' outta (D)Jackson
She'd (D)blow her whistle (Am7)loud
When she came to the (G)county (D)line
Twenty miles to go be(C)fore she got to (G)my town
I'd (D)stare at the southern (Em)stars
And wish she was (G)by my (D)side

Now (D)everybody (Am7)knew that she was (G)leavin'
And (D)everybody (Am7)knew she was passin' (G)thru
She (D)packed her bags
And (Am)got on board that (G)train bound for (D)Knoxville
Left me (D)in the tracks
Down (Em)on my knees,(G)cryin' and singin' the (D)blues

chorus
That(C)train I swear..it(G)sounded like it was (D)cryin'
The(C)way she did when(G)she walked out that (A7)door
She wanted (C)everyone to (G)know that she was (D)leavin'
On that (C)train outta Jackson, she (G)wont be back any(D)more

Now that (D)train don't run no (Am7)more ..outta (G)Jackson
They (D)shut her down when the (Am7)interstate came (G)thru
I'd (D)give anything in this (C)whole wide world
If I could (G)hear that whistle (D)blowin'
Girl I'd give my (Em)soul for just another(G)night with (D)you
Yeah girl I'd give my(Am7)soul for just another(G)night with(D) you

repeat chorus

tag:
I used to (D)lay awake at(Am7) night
