Intro: D
D I saw you all dolled up
Singing a song in your pickup truck G You put me on a morning train D You put me on a morning train A Ain't no need to explain D You put me on a morning train
D Hey, Hey, Brother Ray
What'd you mean by "what'd I say" G You put me on a morning train D You put me on a morning train A Ain't no need to explain D You put me on a morning train
G If it's gonna rain
And I wish that it would D Just go ahead and rain
Get it over for good G If there's really a hole in that big blue sky E7A Then move it on over and let me by
D Constantinople is a mighty long word
Got three more letters than mockingbird G You put me on a morning train D You put me on a morning train A Ain't no need to explain D You put me on a morning train
Break: DG DAD
D I like you with your make-up on
All dolled up singing a song G You put me on a morning train D You put me on a morning train A Ain't no need to explain D You put me on a morning train
