Em
(G) (D)
Got a (G) guitar (Cadd9), got a (G) guitar on my (Cadd9) back
And I'm (Em) standing on this (D) lonesome railroad (G) track
Train's a (G) coming (Cadd9); it'll (G) be here ‘fore too (Cadd9) long
But I (Em) don't think I can (D) stop it with a (G) song
Girl that's (Em) kind of the (Cadd9) way I'm (G) feeling (D)
(Em) Trying to (Cadd9) stop your leaving (G) (D)
Got a (G) pebble (Cadd9), got a (G) pebble in my (Cadd9) hand
And I (Em) toss it out into the (D) middle of the Rio (G) Grand
But the River keeps (G) running (Cadd9)
Don't even (G) know that I'm (Cadd9) around
I could (Em) throw in a million (D) more and not slow it (G) down
Girl that's (Em) kind of the (Cadd9) way, I'm (G) feeling (D)
(Em) Trying to (Cadd9) stop your leaving (G)
(Em) (Cadd9) (G)There's nothing I (D) wouldn't try
(Em) (Cadd9) (G) If I thought it would (D) change your mind (Em)
You don't (G) love me (Cadd9), you don't (G) love me any (Cadd9) more
And I (Em) know as soon as (D) you walk out that (G) door
Train's a (G) coming (Cadd9), River's (G) running (Cadd9), Train's a (G) coming, Rivers
running, Pains a (G) coming, tears are (Cadd9) running
And that's (Em) kind of the (Cadd9) way I'm feeling (G) (D)
Knowing (Em) I couldn't (Cadd9) stop your leaving (G) (D)
(Em) (Cadd9) (G) (D),(Em) (Cadd9)

(Em) (Cadd9) (G) (D), (Em) (Cadd9) (G)(D)
