////////  ////////  //// ////  ////////   (same throughout)

[Chorus]
      Am            G     F         E7              Am
  I'm going away my baby, I'm gonna leave you honey now
       Am                          G                
  That train passed by when you lay sleeping
            F                       E7            Am
  I'm gonna write you a letter on a dusty box car wall

[Verse 1]
      Am                     G             F             E7     Am    
  the only two things that a gambler needs are a suitcase and a trunk
      Am                  G          F           E7    Am       
  the only time that he is satisfied is when he's on a drunk

[Chorus]
      Am            G     F         E7              Am
  I'm going away my baby, I'm gonna leave you honey now
       Am                          G                
  That train passed by when you lay sleeping
            F                       E7            Am
  I'm gonna write you a letter on a dusty box car wall

[Verse 2]
    Am                        G         F              E7        Am 
  I once loved a boy in Cincinnati, I loved a boy in sunny Tennessee
    Am                                 G              F                E7             Am
  A city boy will fill your heart with sadness, but a country boy's as good as he can be

[Chorus]
      Am            G     F         E7              Am
  I'm going away my baby, I'm gonna leave you honey now
       Am                          G
  That train passed by when you lay sleeping
            F                       E7           Am
  I'm gonna write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall
            F                       E7           Am      
  I'm gonna write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall
            F                       E7           Am 
  I'm gonna write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall
