It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry

guitar chords lyrics

Grateful Dead

Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby, can't buy a thrill
Well, I've been up all night, baby, leanin' on the window sill
Well, if I die on top of the hill

And if I don't make it, you know my baby will
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 good goin' down over the sea?
Don't my gal look fine when she's comin' after me?
Now the wintertime is coming, the windows are filled with frost
I want to tell everybody, but I could not get across
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss
Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost
