And I (G)fol lowed her
to the sta tion
with a suit case in my hand.
And I fol lowed (C)her to the sta tion
with a suit case in my hand.
Well, it’s (Am)hard to tell, it’s hard to tell
when all your love’s in vain.
(G)All my (C)love’s (Cm)in (G)vain.
When the (G)train
rolled up to the (G7)sta tion
I looked her in the eye,
when the train (C)rolled up to the sta tion
and I looked her in the eye,
well, I was (Am)lone some, I felt so lone some
and I could not help but cry.
(G)All my (C)love’s (Cm)in (G)vain.
When the (G)train,
it left the (G7)sta tion
with two lights on be hind,
when the train, it left the sta tion
with two lights on be hind,
well, the (Am)blue light was my blues
and the red light was my mind.
(G)All my (C)love’s (Cm)in (G)vain.
Ooh, (G)hoo,
hoo, Wil lie Mae.
Oh,
hey,
hoo, Wil lie Mae.
Ooh
hoo,
hoo, wee, oh woe,
(G)all my (C)love’s (Cm)in (G)vain.
