G             D                  G
I'm heartbroken and I'm feelin' low-down
    C                                                 G
I'm sick and tired of the life I live around this old town
                         D              G
And I'm gettin' tired of cryin' over you
    A                           D
So honey, here's what I'm gonna do

[Chorus]
               G                C
I'm takin' the slow train for a long ride
          G   E       A   D
I'm gonna stay a long time
          G                    A
Losin' an old love, startin' a new life
                G        E               G
I'm takin' that slow train, leavin' tonight

[Verse 2]
G                  D                 G
Well I'm as lonesome as a soul could be
     C                                              G
I've got to find someone who cares a little bit for me
                         D                    G
And I'm gettin' tired of goin' down the track
      A                           D
Still honey, I ain't never comin' back

[Chorus]

               G                C
I'm takin' the slow train for a long ride
          G   E       A   D
I'm gonna stay a long time
          G                    A
Losin' an old love, startin' a new life
                G        E               G
I'm takin' that slow train, leavin' tonight
