Intro:
D A D A D A D A F# A D A
A D A
The sun slips through the broken blinds, through the dusty panes
Em
And casts a shadow across the bed where you and I once lay
D A F#
Your perfume lingers, though you've gone, my poor ol' heart will break
D E D E A
I'm lonesome as the whistle on the evening train
chorus:
D
The jukebox plays a sad old song
A F#
I pray to God above
D E
That you'll come riding back to me
D E A
On a train of love
I walk down to the station, and watch the trains go by
And stare into my coffee just looking for a sign
That one day you'll step off that train and forgive me for my crimes
Take my hand and walk with me 'til the end of the line
chorus
G# Bm E G#
I never knew I was lucky 'til my luck all slipped away
G# Bm E F#
I gambled with the devil and the devil made me pay
E B G#
My dreams never came true like the roses never bloomed
E F# E F# B
They withered and they died in this empty room
The light is gone, the night is here, the day is left behind
The rumble of a distant train slithers through my mind
Your photograph is faded, but the memory still remains
Your eyes burn in the tail lights on the midnight train
