   ADDITIONAL LYRICS:
  
   When the train came in the station, I looked her in the eye
   Yeah the train came in the station and I looked her in the eye.
   I feel so sad and lonesome, I could not help but cry.
   
   When the train left the station, there were two lights on behind
   Yeah the train left the station and there were two lights on behind
   The blue light was my blues and the red light was my mind.
  
   I wanna tell you how vain was my love, how vain was my love.



   NOTES:

   It's 12 bars blues in G with 4 beats per measure (4/4).
   Tempo: slow (x below the strings indicate the beats).
