Broke down in East St. Louis
Bb F
On the Kansas City Line
C F Am
Drunk up all my money
D Bb
That I borrowed every time
G C
And I fell down at the derby
Bb F
Night's as black as a crow
C F C Am
It was a train took me away from here
F G C
But a train can bring me home

new coat of paint in this lonesome old town
C#m7 F#7 A7 G#7sus4 G#7

Coda: Intro 4 times with lots of variations.
2nd verse:
all our soribbled love dreams are lost or trown away
here amidst a shuffle on a overthrowing day
our love needs a transfusion, let's shot it full of wine
fishing for a good time, start throwing in your line
Repeat 1st verse and then fade away with the intro
I just happened to have these, I didn t and couldn t transcribe them myself...
