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

Intro: C G Am F

You’re standing there, that look in your eye
You’re looking for good ways to tell my good-bye
Something ‘bout people, how they never know
They’re loving somebody, then lettin’ them go
You’re looking for reasons but there ain’t no need
(pause) C
You can blame it on me

Blame it on me, I was the one
I had no right to turn it all wrong
I held you too close, I couldn’t let go
Can’t loose your cool these days I know
I’ll go on home and you can feel free
To blame it on me

I am too rough, I work too hard
I got no cool friends, I drive an old car
I’m not the picture of any man’s dream
Handful of bluebonnets, boots and old jeans
I was a fool to think it could be
So blame it on me

Blame it on me, I was the one
Acting like real life was some old love song
I held you too close, couldn’t let go
Can’t loose your cool these days I know
Thinkin’ forever, ever could be
So blame it on me

When you start looking for ways out of love
Then I’ve been making mistakes by the dozen
So if you want to leave
You can blame it on me

I held you too close, couldn’t let go
Can’t loose your cool these days I know
So I’ll go on home and you can feel free
To blame it on me
[(]Blam[)]e it on me
( F ) C (end on C )
Blame it on me
