Verse 1

      G        C9
Got a guitar
      G            C9
Got a guitar on my back
        Em               D        C9        G       C9
And I'm standin' on this lonesome railroad track
          G        C9
Train's a comin'
      G                 C9
It'll be here 'fore too long
      Em                D       C9         G
But I don't think I can stop it with a song
            Am7         C9       G
Girl that's kind of the way I'm feelin'
Am7       C9          
Tryin' to stop your leavin'


Verse 2

      G        C9
Got a pebble
      G            C9
Got a pebble in my hand
      Em                   D             C9   G       C9
And I toss it out into the middle of the Rio Grande
                    G        C9
But the river keeps runnin'
           G               C9
Don't even know that I'm around
        Em                 D        C9           G
I could throw in a million more and not slow it down
            Am7         C9       G
Girl that's kind of the way I'm feelin'
Am7       C9         Em         C9
Tryin' to stop your leavin'


Bridge

G                    D             Em     C9
There's nothin' that I wouldn't try
G                     D              C9
If I thought it would change your mind


Verse 3 (palm mute or arpeggio)

              G          C9
But you don't love me
             G           C9
No you don't love me anymore
      Em              D        C9        G
And I know as soon as you walk out that door
          G         C9  
Train's a comin'
        G           C9     
river's runnin'
          G               C9
Train's a comin', river's runnin'
         G                 C9
Pain's a comin', tears are runnin'
            Am7         C9       G
Yeah that's kind of the way I'm feelin'
        Am7        C9         Em       C9  G  D
Knowin' I couldn't stop your leavin'


Em C9 G D (ending in G )
