Lucy Kaplansky Break A Train written by Cliff Eberhardt
CBm
I'm headed south on a railroad train
FCG
We're pulling out on time and I'm amazed
CCBm
Got my window seat I got my magazines
FCG
Got everything I need except for you
CBm
Remember when we took that train out west
FCG
They almost threw us off for acting strange
Am
Made fools of all the porters
FC
We drank booze out of paper cups
G
You showed me a good time baby
E7Am
But I never got enough
FC
You showed me a good time darling
GC
But I never got enough
G
And my heart feels just as caloused
C
As some old breakmans hands
G
Been on the job for years
B7Em
He still don't understand
F
Why the towns fade away like lovers
F
His life has let him dowm
CG
You can brake a train you can break a heart
AmF
But you never learn to like the sound
CBm
I'm sitting all alone in a dining car
FCG
I feel like a fool for ordering this meal
CBm
It's no fun without you here
FCG
I miss your teasing everytime I spill my drink
C
Were pulling in a station
Bm
I wish it was my stop
FCG
I'll remeber next time to take the plane
Am
It just ain't the same without you
FC
I was a fool to try now
G
Now im getting odd looks from a porter
EAm
Like he never seen a woman cry
FC
Now im getting odd looks from a porter
GC
Like he never seen a woman cry
G
And my heart feels just as caloused
C
As some old breakmans hands
G
Been on the job for years
B7Em
He still don't understand
F
Why the towns fade away like lovers
F
His life has let him dowm
CG
You can brake a train you can break a heart
AmFC
But you never learn to like the sound

Lucy Kaplansky Goodnight written by Cliff Eberhardt
FC
Sleepless nights don't bother me at all
Dm
And if dawn comes I won't worry
D7Gm
Something deep inside keeps me awake
A7Dm
I wish that you were here right beside me
FC
I recall when I was very young
Dm
And I could not fall sleep
D7Gm
My father sang me songs to make me tired
A7Dm
But memories don't come so easily
BbF
So goodnight goodnight
A7Dm
Wherever you are sleeping
BbFC
And I hope that if you dream you dream of me
BbF
Goodnight goodnight
A7Dm
Wherever you are sleeping
BbFCF
And I hope that if you dream you dream of me
FC
Now I lie awake and it's no fun
Dm
I'm tossing and turning
D7Gm
I'd call you if it weren't so very late
A7Dm
But telephones won't bring you close to me
FC
I recall the nights we stayed up late
Dm
Wide awake but still dreaming
D7
There was nothing on this earth
Gm
That could make me tired
A7Dm
But memories don't come so easily
BbF
So goodnight goodnight
A7Dm
Wherever you are sleeping
BbFC
And I hope that if you dream you dream of me

Goodnight goodnight

Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich

And welcome me back to town

Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlour

Across those prairies with those waves of grain

We flew straight across that river bridge,

There are demons in the water

There are devils in the sea

There are dangers in the current

When the tide goes out of me
A
I could drink you under the table
E
I could drink you out of town

I could drink you off the planet

Drink myself into the ground

And I have nothing for you tonight
F#mED
I have nothing for you tonight

I have nothing for you tonight
F#mD
I have nothing for you
A
I was made to be a good girl
E
Carried buckets made of stone
D
Full of envy, full of sorrow
AE
On a tightrope all alone
A
And all the time I was on fire
E
I burned with every stride
D
And now I see this anger
AE
Is the horse I choose to ride
A
Now you say you want something nice from me
E
Well if you find it, take it, it's on me
D
In the meantime don't bother me
AE
The tide has washed the nice from me
AE
And I have nothing for you tonight
F#mED
I have nothing for you tonight

I have nothing for you tonight
F#mD
I have nothing for you
A
In nothing are the voices
E
And the pictures of my life
D
In the nothing of the sky
AE
Is an ocean made of light
A
In the nothing of my silence
E
Is a sad-eyed little girl

On a tightrope she is singing

As she passes through this world

And I have nothing for you tonight
