[Intro]
C F
[Verse 1]
Dm F
When love has turned to crumbling ashes
Dm F
and warmth has turned to cold midnight
Dm F
when the time for grief is over
C Dm F
you've got to search for the meaning to life
Dm F
Lord that man I love, he sure did wrong me
Dm F
but i believed his silvery lies
Dm F
if mama dies and I was with him
C Dm F
and all he left are the teardrops that I cried
C F
but I've had my dreams come true
C F
and ive spent my mourning time
C F
gotta catch that long black train
C Dm F
gotta leave all my sorrows far behind

[Verse 2]
Dm F
I can hear that train a moanin'
Dm F
as she rumbles down the tracks
Dm F
got my old guitar, a cigarette or two
C Dm F
and all else i own I'm wearin' on my back
Dm F
Lord this suns so hot, and I'm so weary
Dm F
and I thought I heard my mama call my name
Dm F
but I guess I was mistaken
C Dm F
it must've been the whistle of the train
Dm F
gonna walk this track, 'til that train nears me
Dm F
gonna hop a freight and take a ride
Dm F
I can hear his voice on every whispering breeze
C Dm F
here I go again and I thought these tears would dry
C Dm F
in my search for the meaning to life
