INTRO: Am G C D Am G Am

Come all you broken hearted come and lay your burden down
Come kings and queens, come royalty, surrender up your crown
Come empty-handed, come with nothing of your own to claim
Come naked, poor, come like a child, to ride the orphan train

CHORUS:
Come ride, ride on the orphan train
Put your ear to the track, you can hear your name
Come ride, ride on the orphan train
It’ll take you all the way home

INTERLUDE: Am G C D Am G Am Am7

The way is narrow, it is steep that brings you to the door
But love awaits there to embrace your heart forevermore

CHORUS:
Come ride, ride on the orphan train
Put your ear to the track, you can hear your name
Come ride, ride on the orphan train
It’ll take you all the way home

INSTRUMENTAL: Am D G D Am D C G Am

Come you abandoned, you forsaken, friendless and alone
Come refugees left homesick for some place you’ve never known
Here princes, paupers, criminals and saints are all the same
No more or less than god’s beloved child aboard this train

CHORUS:
Come ride, ride on the orphan train
Put your ear to the track, you can hear your name
Come ride, ride on the orphan train
It’ll take you all the way home

CHORUS:
Ride, ride on the orphan train
Put your ear to the track, you can hear your name
Come ride, ride on the orphan train
It’ll take you all the way home
It’ll take you all the way home
It’s gonna take you all the way home

Like an old abandoned Ferris wheel
Time for me is standin still
And it’s you and me in mid July
underneath the midway lights

And all our friends are standin there
so I was actin like i didn’t care
when you put your arms around my neck
and i barely even kissed you back

Chorus:
But if Id have known it was the last time
I’d have held on a little longer
And let that moment linger
And never let your [G/F#]fingers slip away from mine
If Id known there’d never be another day
I’d have watched you as you walked away
And kept you in my eyes
Till you were out of [G/F#]sight if I
If Id have known it was the last time

Now the midway lights have all shut down
And the grass has grown up all around
And it’s an empty field across the tracks
But I can’t keep from comin back

It was just another summer night
A carousel and a coaster ride
And that silly fight that we got in
Didn’t seem so important then

Chorus

Chorus 2:
And if Id have known then what I know now
I’d never let you disappear into the crowd
Or turn away the way I did with so much left unsaid if I
If Id have known it was the last time

INTRO: Dm G7 Dm G7 Em A Dm G7 C

Think I’ll pack it in and buy a pick-up
Take it down to L.A.
Find a place to call my own and try to fix up
Start a brand new day

CHORUS:
The one I’m thinking of, he loved me all up
But I’m so down today
He’s so fine, he’s in my mind
I hear him calling

See the lonely girl, out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay
Can’t relate to joy, she tries to speak and
Can’t begin to say

INSTRUMENTAL: Dm G Dm G Em A Dm G C

He got pictures on the wall that make me look up
From his big brass bed
Now I’m running down the road, trying to stay up
Somewhere in his head

CHORUS:
The one I’m thinking of, he loved me all up
But I’m so down today
He’s so fine, he’s in my mind
I hear him calling

See the lonely girl, out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay
Can’t relate to joy, she tries to speak and
Can’t begin to say

Verse 1

I thought of walkin’ out on you
Bb C (notes C,A#,A)
It’s crossed my mind a time or two
Nights we almost called it a day
G (barre) G7 (barre) Bb Gm C (notes C,A,G)
And days we almost threw our love away

Chorus 1

Gm C (barre) C7 Am
We’ve thrown around goodbyes
Called us off a thousand times
We’ve called it everything but quits
We’ve said some things that hurt
But love’s always had the last word
We’ve called it everything but quits

Verse 2

Well I might get mad but it don’t last
Bb C C7 (notes C,A#,A)
Said things but always took ‘em back
Like all those I don’t love you’s anymore
G G7 Gm C (notes C,A,G) Gm
But anything worth havin’ is worth fightin’ for

Chorus 2

We’ve thrown around goodbyes
Called us off a thousand times
We’ve called it everything but quits
We’ve said some things that hurt
But love’s always had the last word
We’ve called it everything but quits
We’ve called it everything but quits

Dad used to own the hardware store
But now it and him ain’t around no more
Don’t know the whole story, but I’ve overheard some
I know he’s who I got my drinking from

CHORUS:
Jesus can you save me
From going crazy
I need some help getting out of this town
Are there any answers
Up in the hereafter
Oh, if you got something, won’t you send it on down
While I’m still able to be found

Guys around here want a girl who’s rich
Even if I was, I wouldn’t be no catch
But this ain’t where I’ll be settling down
I wanna be gone when fall rolls around

CHORUS:
Jesus can you save me
From going crazy
I need some help getting out of this town
Are there any answers
Up in the hereafter
Oh, if you got something, won’t you send it on down
While I’m still able to be found

INSTRUMENTAL: C Em F

Sitting in the bleachers at the football field
Got a pretty good buzz from a quart I just killed
It’s a cold Sunday morning and the church bells ring
I can just about hear all the good folks sing

CHORUS:
Jesus can you save me
From going crazy
I need some help getting out of this town
Are there any answers
Up in the hereafter
Oh, if you got something, won’t you send it on down
While I’m still able to be found
Oh, if you got something won’t you send it on down
While I’m still able to be found

intro: A D C A X2

verse 1:

When I gave you my heart
It was not what you wanted

Now the walls say your name
And the pictures are haunted
Does my ring burn your finger
Did my love weigh you down
Was a promise too much
To keep around

Break: A C D A

verse 2:

I remember your words
And I can't keep from crying

I could never believe
That your kisses were lying
Was there something from the past
Buried in a shallow grave
Did you think that it was too
far gone to save

Break: A D C A X2

Bridge:

Please tell me baby
Please tell me now
You say that I should just go on
Now please tell me how

verse 3:
Now it’s just me and the night
And I'm so broken hearted

I just wait in the dark here
For my dearly departed
Did my ring burn your finger
Did my love weigh you down
Was a promise to much
To keep around

Ending: A D C A X3

I play the A as XX2255 to get a mandolin effect

I’ve been sleeping with the devil, I thought you ought to know
I can’t look you in the eye and tell you it’s not so
I’m his little Darling, I’m that old man’s dream
I’ve been sleeping with the devil, so it seems

I’ve been sleeping with the devil, arms around him tight
Breathing my hot breath upon his chest the whole long night
Get up in the morning, god knows I have tried
I’ve been sleeping with the devil by my side

INSTRUMENTAL: Dm G Dm G Dm G C

Sunday morning singing, chicken getting fried
I missed it all by sleeping in, and I feel no light inside
I gave him all my heart’s blood and he’s run off with my soul
I’ve been sleeping with the devil in control

I never let him know it, what it was all about
I hid behind that barroom wall and I pulled the stopper out
I let it burn down slowly, then I followed on behind
I’ve been sleeping with the devil in my mind

I’ve been sleeping with the devil, I thought you ought to know
I can’t look you in the face and tell you it’s not so
I’m his little Darling, I’m that drunkard’s dream
I’ve been sleeping with the devil, so it seems
And I’ve been hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

Snow is white and the ocean is blue
Rain is wet when it falls from the sky
And the stars come out every night

Plant a seed and it will grow

Innocent
Confident
With a hint of curiosity
And an air of what you see is
What you get
Fun to be around
Laugh at herself, never worried
Life is short, but what’s the hurry

PRE-CHORUS:
Bright-eyed and ready to take on the wo–-rld

CHORUS:
Have you seen that girl
That everybody says I used to be
Have you seen that girl
Where along the way did I lose me?

INTERLUDE: C F#dim7 Dm C G

N.C. C
She was full of life
Looked on the brighter side
If it was worth a chance she’d take it
Said that life is what you make it
But a few wrong moves
Lead to a few wrong turns
And once you’re burned, you’re not the same
You tend to shy from the flame

PRE-CHORUS:
I hate to think she’s given up her dre___am

Have you seen that girl
That everybody says I used to be

Where along the way did I lose me?

Where along the way did I lose me

Verse 1

Looking in the bathroom mirror
Puttin my makeup on
Maybeline can’t hide the lines
Of time that’s gone
I weighed 105 soaking wet
I’d knock em’ dead in that sundress
Had it all just to young to know
That was twenty years and two husbands ago

Verse 2

I remember when he took my hand and said I do
And the kitchen I was standing in
when he said I’m through
And I swore I’d never fall back in
Put my heart through that again
Never let somebody get that close
But that was twenty years and two husbands ago

Driving the kids to school today
It occured to me
With all the wrong turns that I’ve made
I’m right where I should be
But I go back there from time to time
Looking for a peace of mind
Then find it’s always just a dead end road
Yeah that was twenty years and two husbands ago
