A D A
I've been away for so long
E A
Fought a war that's come and gone
D E A
Doesn't anybody know my name
D A
My sister upped and wed
E A
Momma's sick and took to bed
D A E A
And my old dog Red's gone lame
[Chorus]
A D A E A
Please tell me if you can What time the trains roll in
D A E A
Two ten six eighteen ten forty four
[Verse]
D A
The old house is falling down
E A
There ain't no need in me hanging round
D E A
Doesn't anybody know my name
D A
The girl I left behind
E A
She's gone with this friend of mine
D A E A
I don't have to see a sign to know things ain't the same
[Chorus]
A D A E A
Please tell me if you can What time the trains roll in
D A E A
Two ten six eighteen ten forty four
[Verse]
D A E A
You can't get far away On just a soldier's pay
D E A D A
Doesn't anybody know my name Used to be when I could see
E A
Everybody wanted me
D A E A
Guess nobody cares to see a blind man catch a train
[Outro]
A D A E A
Please tell me if you can What time the trains roll in
D A E A
Two ten six eighteen ten forty four
