Tuning: Standard
Intro:
D
DI saw you all dolled up
Singing a song in your pickup truck
You put me on a Gmorning train
You put me on a Dmorning train
Ain't no Aneed to explain
You put me on a Dmorning train
DHey, Hey, Brother Ray
What'd you mean by "what'd I say"
You put me on a Gmorning train
You put me on a Dmorning train
Ain't no Aneed to explain
You put me on a Dmorning train
GIf it's gonna rain
And I wish that it would
DJust go ahead and rain
Get it over for good
GIf there's really a hole in that big blue sky
E7Then move it on over Aand let me by
DConstantinople is a mighty long word
Got three more letters than mockingbird
You put me on a Gmorning train
You put me on a Dmorning train
Ain't no Aneed to explain
You put me on a Dmorning train
Break:
G D
G E A
DI like you with your make-up on
All dolled up singing a song
You put me on a Gmorning train
You put me on a Dmorning train
Ain't no Aneed to explain
You put me on a Dmorning train
