Lucy Kaplansky Break A Train written by Cliff Eberhardt
 C                Bm
I'm headed south on a railroad train
 F                    C            G
We're pulling out on time and I'm amazed
 C      C            Bm
Got my window seat I got my magazines
 F                C               G
Got everything I need except for you
 C                Bm
Remember when we took that train out west
 F                    C              G
They almost threw us off for acting strange
 Am
Made fools of all the porters
          F                  C
We drank booze out of paper cups
 G
You showed me a good time baby
       E7         Am
But I never got enough
 F                         C
You showed me a good time darling
       G         C
But I never got enough
        G
And my heart feels just as caloused
    C
As some old breakmans hands
 G
Been on the job for years
 B7                   Em
He still don't understand
          F
Why the towns fade away like lovers
 F
His life has let him dowm
 C                               G
You can brake a train you can break a heart
         Am                       F
But you never learn to like the sound
 C                      Bm
I'm sitting all alone in a dining car
 F                       C             G
I feel like a fool for ordering this meal
 C              Bm
It's no fun without you here
 F                   C                    G
I miss your teasing everytime I spill my drink
 C
Were pulling in a station
 Bm
I wish it was my stop
 F                 C                  G
I'll remeber next time to take the plane
 Am
It just ain't the same without you
         F           C
I was a fool to try now
       G
Now im getting odd looks from a porter
          E                  Am
Like he never seen a woman cry
        F                        C
Now im getting odd looks from a porter
          G                  C
Like he never seen a woman cry
        G
And my heart feels just as caloused
    C
As some old breakmans hands
 G
Been on the job for years
 B7                   Em
He still don't understand
          F
Why the towns fade away like lovers
 F
His life has let him dowm
 C                               G
You can brake a train you can break a heart
         Am                       F      C
But you never learn to like the sound
