Easy song, just follow the same chord progression until the refrain and hold the G chord. Listen to it and figure out the strumming pattern.
Intro with harmonica: EmB7CG
EmB7CG I took the train up from Illinois EmB7CG I was following through on a letter you sent EmB7CG I always feared that you'd be true EmB7CG True to yourself to the bitter end
EmB7CG It just kinda happened, or so she says EmB7CG She was drinking and lonely, you know the rest EmB7CG And he meant nothing, he was happenstance EmB7CG She says she loves me still and wants a second chance
Refrain: G But i don't wanna be together G I don't wanna be apart G I don't want none of this love for you honey G Deep, deep down in my heart
EmB7CG Where is my golden crown EmB7CG That you took and passed around EmB7CG There's no telling what a man might do
EmB7CG With a life like this when it all falls through
Refrain: G I don't wanna be together G I don't wanna be apart G I don't want none of this love for you honey G Deep, deep down in my heart
Harmonica break: EmB7CG
EmB7CG You were my dream come true EmB7CG Can't you see what you've put me through
EmB7CG The love that tears me apart G Still beats deep, deep down in my heart G Deep, deep, deep down in my heart
