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.
