Last Train Home

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


[Chorus]
                          C D
You missed the last train home
                               G C 
The whistle blew and now she's gone
D G

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

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


[Chorus]
                          C D
You missed the last train home
                               G C 
The whistle blew and now she's gone
D G

                             C
West Texas dust beneath your nails
D                                 
  You're headed down the 
  G C D G
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 
He never missed the last train out
