this figure is repeated thruout the
verses, up until the chord change to
C7
[G]
take the last train to clarksville and i’ll meet you at the station
you can be here at 4:30 cause i’ve made my reservation don’t be
[C7]
slow, oh no no no, oh no no no
[G]
cause i’m leaving in the morning and i won’t see you again
we’ll have one more night together, til the morning brings my train and
i must
[C7]
go, oh no no no, oh no no no
[D] (i think — this is from memory right now)
and i don’t know if i’m ever coming
[G]
home
the rest of the verses continue in the same way, but i still don’t have the
bridge worked out yet
