A              D      A
I've been away for so long
E                   A
Fought a war that's come and gone
D          E            A
Doesn't anybody know my name 
          D         A
My sister upped and wed
E                A
Momma's sick and took to bed
D      A       E          A
And my old dog Red's gone lame

[Chorus]
A              D      A   E             A
Please tell me if you can What time the trains roll in
D       A            E         A
Two ten six eighteen ten forty four

[Verse]
                 D       A
The old house is falling down
E                         A
There ain't no need in me hanging round
D          E            A
Doesn't anybody know my name 
           D      A
The girl I left behind
E                    A
She's gone with this friend of mine
D               A             E                     A
I don't have to see a sign to know things ain't the same

[Chorus]
A              D      A   E             A
Please tell me if you can What time the trains roll in
D       A            E         A
Two ten six eighteen ten forty four

[Verse]
              D    A   E         A
You can't get far away On just a soldier's pay 
D          E            A                    D       A
Doesn't anybody know my name Used to be when I could see 
E         A
Everybody wanted me
D            A              E                 A
Guess nobody cares to see a blind man catch a train

[Outro]
A              D      A   E             A
Please tell me if you can What time the trains roll in
D        A           E         A
Two ten six eighteen ten forty four
