It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry

It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry
Bob Dylan

{c:Harmonica into, for a verse.}


[C/Am] Well, I ride on a mail train, baby
Can’t buy a thrill
Well, I’ve been up all night, baby
Leanin’ on the window sill
Well, if I [C7]die
On[F] top of the [G7]hill [X]
And if [C/Am]I don’t make it
You know my baby will


[C/Am] Don’t the moon look good, mama
Shinin’ through the trees?
Don’t the brakeman look good, mama
Flagging down the “Double E?”
Don’t the sun look [C7]good
Goin’[F] down over the [G7]sea? [X]
Don’t my [C/Am] gal look fine
When she’s comin’ after me?


[C/Am] Now the wintertime is coming
The windows are filled with frost
I went to tell everybody
But I could not get across
Well, I wanna be your [C7] lover, baby
I don’t[F] wanna be your [G7]boss [X]
Don’t [C/Am] say I never warned you
When your train gets lost
