The Morning Train

G D C


[Verse]
                   G
There's a morning train

Headed for New Orleans
          C
Carrying business men
              G
and week day shoppers

I got sixteen bucks
                    C
I got a dollar and change
Em             G                   D
That's not bad price for a one way ride
              G
On a morning train

G
I give you my devotion

You left me heartsick
                      C
Oh, you couldn't had hurt me more
                    G
Not workin' with a night stick

Now I'm tired of sharin'
             C
this bed of nails
Em             G                  D
So come first light I'm gonna be right
                 G
With the mornin' train


[Chorus]
    C       G          Am   G
So goodbye lover, I'm goin' undercover
C         G            A      D
Crescent City's gonna swallow me
C       G               Am          G
Skip my ring 'cross the Mississippi River
 G
When it sinks, well I won't' feel a thing
 G
When it sinks, well I won't feel a thing


[Verse]
 G
Oh well I'm gonna be stayin'

With a short time acquaintance
                        C
When I met him he was playin'
                    G
On the Gulf Breeze Circuit

He didn't play no hit songs
       C
or TV themes
Em            G                D
He's a guitar man just a hired hand
             G
From a local band


[Chorus]
    C       G          Am   G
So goodbye lover, I'm goin' undercover
C        G             A      D
Crescent City's gonna swallow me
C       G               Am          G
Skip my ring 'cross the Mississippi River
 G
When it sinks, well I won't' feel a thing
 G
When it sinks, well I won't feel a thing

                                 Gm
The whistles blowin' clear and loud


[Interlude]
G  C  G  C  Em  G  D  G


[Verse]
G
Now when I hit the station

I'll take a taxi to the corner
                         C
I'm gonna meet him by a street car
                     G
Name of what-cha-ma-call-it

And my imagination
                    C
Won't let us miss a thing
Em                    G                        D
Cause life's gonna be fine when I leave him behind
                 G
On that mornin' train


[Chorus]
    C       G          Am   G
So goodbye lover, I'm goin' undercover
C        G             A      D
Crescent City's gonna swallow me
C       G               Am          G
Skip my ring 'cross the Mississippi River
 G
When it sinks, well I won't' feel a thing
 G
When it sinks, well I won't feel a thing
