I Won’t Give Up My Train
Merle Haggard
Verse 1:
G C
I pulled into Memphis, thirteen minutes early
G
First time in two weeks.
That’s where she came to meet me
C G
As I stepped down off 451, and needed sleep.
D C G
And the baby’s overdo I know, she needs some thi..ngs,
C D
But the more we discuss it, it’s the same..
Chorus:
G C
Long train rollin’, got a feelin’ that I’m not knowin’
G
She’s not waitin’ for me.
These rails keep getting’ longer
C G
And this feelin’s getting’ stronger she won’t let me be,
D
I love my woman fire and rain,
C G
But, I won’t give up my train
Guitar solo:
Verse 2:
G C
The Baby came in April and I was in Chicago
G
In the pourin’ rain.
C
With twelve flat cars, an empty tanker, three box cars
D
and an empty sack of mail.
C G
Tho’ I get lonely sometimes I know
C D
There’s just no other way to explain…
Chorus:
Guitar Solo: to end of song
