D7 G7 G7/G# | D7 Bm7 | Em7 A7 D G7 D7 A7

D7 D9 G7 G7/G#

I got to ride, that lonesome train. My heart is heavy, with aches and pains.

D7 Bm7 Em7 A7 D G7 D7 A7

I said but someday, someday, baby, after a while, you will be sorry.

Every day, my clouds are gray, takes you to roll, all those clouds away.

D7 Bm7 Em7 A7 D G7 D D7

I said but someday, someday, baby, after a while, you will be sorry.

CHORUS:

Trouble trouble, trouble on my mind.

Trouble trouble, way down the line.

I don't need, I don't need no sympathy.

So babe, babe, don't you, don't you pity me.

I may be blue, but I don't mind because I know, way down the line.

I said someday, someday, baby,
