Am                               Dm
Down in the valley, the valley so low
            Am                E
Late in the evening, hear the train blow
   Am                     Dm
The train, love, hear the train blow
            Am       E            Am
Late in the evening, hear the train blow


[Verse 2]
Am                                Dm
Go build me a mansion, build it so high
            Am            E
So I can see my true love go by
          Am                   Dm
See him go by, love, see him go by
            Am      E       Am
So I can see my true love go by


[Verse 3]
Am                               Dm
Go write me a letter, send it by mail
            Am                     E
Bake it and stamp it to the Capitol jail
           Am                      Dm
The Capital jail, love, the Capitol jail
            Am      E              Am
Bake it and stamp it to the Capitol jail


[Outro]
         Am               Dm
Roses are red, violets are blue
             Am                 E
Birds in the heavens know I love you
           Am              Dm
Know I love you, oh know I love you
             Am      E          Am
Birds in the heavens know I love you
