Capo 3
(G) Well there?s a black train a rolling through the hills of Tennessee
Taking my baby so far away from me
Oh black (C) train, my baby?s on that black (G) train
(D) Kiss me goodbye to the (C) lonesome whistle strain
Then (D) disappear down the line, (C) on that black (G) train
Said she didn?t know if she loved me anymore
Needed some time away to know for sure
Oh black train, my baby?s on that black train
Kiss me goodbye to the lonesome whistle strain
Then disappear down the line, on that black train
Nobody knows just where my baby went
Three lonely years oh and I ain?t seen her since
Oh black train, my baby?s on that black train
Kiss me goodbye to the lonesome whistle strain
Then (D) disappear down the line, (C) on that black (D) train
Kiss me goodbye to the lonesome whistle strain
Then disappear down the line, on that black train
Oh black train, oh oh oh
