Lynnville Train Robert Earl Keen Cover

verse 1 G D The lonesome oak tree held its fire into November Am He watched the last brown leaf C D Hit the ground and blow a way G D An evening gunshot lets him know the hunt is over Am A familiar cold moves in C D Some where between snow and rain G D Just last spring you know his heart was burning Am C D Before his Lynnville love hit the road to chase her dream G D Now he thinks of her each night and in the morning Am C D He laces his coffee cup with whiskey instead of cream [Refrão] 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 D Cause I'm coming in with someone 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 D He blew a tire on the road down to the station Am He jacked it up and thought out loud, C D "She never should have let me down." G D Just six months ago she vowed she was leaving Am Now she's coming home with a stranger C D To settle down in Lynnville town [Refrão] 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 D Cause I'm coming in with someone 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 D He reaches in his coat, his hand is shaking Am C D The time has finally come. yeah, this really is goodbye [Refrão] 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
