How
E
long, baby how
E7
long,
Has that
A
evening train been
A7
gone?
How
E
long, how how
B7
long, baby how
E
long?
E
Went to the
E
station, didn't see no
E7
train.
Down in my
A
heart, I have an aching
A7
pain.
How
E
long, how how
B7
long, baby how
E
long?
E
I feel dis
E
gusted, I feel so
E7
bad
Thinking 'bout the
A
good time that I once had
A7
had.
How
E
long, how how
B7
long, baby how
E
long?
E
I could see the
E
green grass growing on the
E7
hill;
I ain't seen no
A
greenback on a dollar
A7
bill.
How
E
long, how how
B7
long, baby how
E
long?
E
You're gonna be
E
sorry you feel so
E7
blue.
When you want
A
me, baby, I declare I want, want
A7
you.
How
E
long, how how
B7
long, baby how
E
long?
E
Solo on Verse
Don't have no
E
money for to ride the
E7
train.
I would ride the
A
rugs, baby, to be with you a
A7
gain.
How
E
long, how how
B7
long, baby how
E
long?
E
How
E
long, baby how
E7
long
Must I
A
keep my, my watching
A7
point?
How
E
long, how how
B7
long, baby how
E
long?
