       A (x02220@1)                             D/F# (200232@1)                         D/G (300232@1)               Dsus2 (xx0230@1)The old man's breath came slow and smelled of whiskey in the dawn

A (x02220@1)                     Dsus2 (xx0230@1)            D/B (x20232@1)  D/F# (200232@1)   D/GOn (300232@1)a cold November morning in the gentle mist of rain

There's just so many reasons that people wait to meet a train

He told me that his son had not been home in fifteen years
         Dsus2 (xx0230@1)D/F# (200232@1)       D/G (300232@1)         D/B (x20232@1)  D/F# (200232@1)     D/GAnd (300232@1)I barely seemed to notice the tears behind his face
             A (x02220@1)                    D/F# (200232@1)                D/G (300232@1)             Dsus2 (xx0230@1)
