Chorus:
A        D A
Railroad
              E             A D A E
She left me standing on a line
A        D A
Railroad
              E               A  D A E
She's really leaving me this time
A       D A
Leaving
E                 A  D A E
On the midnight train
A       D A
Leaving
       E                A  D A E
Never gonna come back again

     A
I'm living alone a place of my own
   D
A bed a chair and one back door
 A
Something went wrong with the words to my song
     B                       E
And now she ain't around no more
        A
It was something she said as she laid on my bed
 D
Six or seven hours ago
   A
I guess I was wrong
   E                             A E
I really didn't think she would go

Chorus

Her face was always smiling,
guess she was always laughing at me
I said her face was always smiling,
guess she was always laughing at me
If I'd realised I'd be less surprised to find
That she was laughing at me
