[Cm] Trouble is a lonesome town, and it's a little town [C] too, [F] but we got some big people.
Take Moss Derringer, [A] he's almost six foot five inches tall.
Now, trouble, like most all little towns, has some people who are bad all the time,
[C] and it has some people who are [F] good all the time.
But most of the people [Cm] are good and bad, most of [C] the time.
[D] People [Gm] who live in trouble [Am] do lots of [D] remembering.
[Cm] I guess that's because they ain't got [F] much to look forward to.
One of the first things [Gm] I remember [C] happened when I was ten.
[G#] [B] One day when I was ten [E] and lived in trouble, [C] I found a friend.
[A] Back [D] when I [A] was ten, Jim [D] was my [A] best friend.
We'd go [D] down to [A] the [E] station [D] and watch [E] the trains [A] come in.
[F#m] The long [A] black train, [F#m] the long [A] black train.
Someday, [D] I told [A] my friend, we'll ride [D] that train,
[A] and then we'll make [D] a [A] fortune for [E]
ourselves,
[D] and we'll ride [E] it home [A] again.
The [F#m] long black [A] train, [F#m] the long [A] black train.
As we [D] grew [A] older, Jim grew [D] wilder than [A] the wind.
He robbed [D] the bank [A] in our [E] hometown, [D] and they sent [E] me [A] after him.
[F#m] On the long [A] black train, [F#m] the long [E] black [A] train.
And so [D] I caught [A] my friend, twelve men [D] convicted [A] him.
[D] Ninety-nine years [A] is what [E] he got, I'll [D] bet it seems like [E] a hundred to [A] Jim.
He'll miss [F#m] the long [A] black train,
[F#m] the long [A] black train.
