Lynnville Train

   G                               
The lonesome oak tree held its fire
      D
 into November
   Am
He watched the last brown leaf
   C                      D
Hit the ground and blow a way
    G                              
An evening gunshot lets him know 
            D
the hunt is over
 Am
A familiar cold moves in
                  C           D
Some where between snow and rain
       G                           
Just last spring you know his heart
    D
 was burning
 Am                              
Before his Lynnville love hit the 
         C          D
road to chase her dream
  G                                
Now he thinks of her each night and
            D
 in the morning
 Am                                
He laces his coffee cup with 
   C           D
whiskey instead of cream


CHORUS

 C
Her story is she's changed her mind
      G
She just can't help herself
           Am
She wrote please don't meet me at 
the Lynnville train
          C                     
Cause I'm coming in with someone 
   D
else
 C
He's a quiet man, the neighbors say
         G       G/F       Em
But his pain won't go a way
    C                           G
So for better or worse he's going 
down
  D                     G
To meet the Lynnville train

VERSE 2

  G                                
He blew a tire on the road down to 
    D
the station
  Am
He jacked it up and thought out 
loud,
     C                        D
"She never should have let me down."
  G                              
Just six months ago she vowed she 
     D
was leaving
          Am
Now she's coming home with a 
stranger
    C                       D
To settle down in Lynnville town


CHORUS

 C
Her story is she's changed her mind
      G
She just can't help herself
           Am
She wrote please don't meet me at 
the Lynnville train
          C                     
Cause I'm coming in with someone 
   D
else
 C
He's a quiet man, the neighbors say
         G       G/F       Em
But his pain won't go a way
    C                           G
So for better or worse he's going 
down
  D                     G
To meet the Lynnville train


VERSE 3

  G
Steel wheels scream, the whistle 
blows,
              D
His heart is breaking
   Am
She steps onto the platform,
         C                D
with her new love by her side
  G                                
He reaches in his coat, his hand is
      D
 shaking
    Am                          
The time has finally come. yeah, 
      C              D
this really is goodbye


ENDING CHORUS

 C
His story is he's changed his mind,
    G
He just can't help himself
         Am
So he's getting on board the 
Lynnville train
      C                      D
And moving on to someplace else
 C
As the train pulls out he watches 
them both
 G              G/F       Em
Standing in the pouring rain
 C                           Am
He's headed for a new life down the 
line
D                G
On the Lynnville Train
 C                         G
Yeah, for better or worse, he's 
leaving town
D                G
On the Lynnville Train
