G                                                                         D
  By the time I get to Phoenix was the last song on your mind the day you left
                                                                  G   C D G
Then you woke up in Nogales with Tequila and her name across your chest
                                                                         D
And you stumbled through the morning in these border tourists' dusty avenues
                                                                           G   C D G
Singing every day's the hurting kind and everyday you live, you're born to lose


[Chorus]
                          C D
You missed the last train home
                               G C D G
The whistle blew and now she's gone
                             C
West Texas dust beneath your nails
D                                     G    C D G
  You're hammered down the heartbreak trail
                          C  D
You missed the last train home
                               G   C D G  C D G
That whistle blew, she's solid gone


[Verse 2]
            G                                                     D
Now, you're wandering El Paso searching for your broken heart and truth
                                                            G   C D G
She was all you ever had and the only thing you ever had to lose
                                                                             D
And with a juke box playing Charlie Rich you're lining up your shots at half past noon
                                                                                     G   C D G
And you threw your ring across the bar and sang along to good time Charlie's got the blues


[Chorus]
                          C D
You missed the last train home
                               G C D G
The whistle blew and now she's gone
                             C
West Texas dust beneath your nails
D                                   G C D G
  You're headed down the heartbreak trail


[Chorus]
                          C  D
You missed the last train home
                          G C D G
Whistle blew, she's solid gone
                              C  D
Don't go to Tulsa where she's bound
                            G C D G
You'll end up six feet underground
                                C D
Your ex-friend Charlie's there about
                               G C D G
He never missed the last train out


[Otro]
                          C D
You missed the last train home
                               G C D G
That whistle blew, she's solid gone
                          C D
You missed the last train home
                               G  C D G  C D G  C D G
That whistle blew, she's solid gone
