B             E         A   E
Well I woke up this morning woah-oh
         B                   B5  B
And the sun refused to shine
   B                  E   A   E
I knew I'd leave my baby woah-oh
B                     B5  B
With a troublin' mind
    E            A      B   A
It rains every morning woah-oh
     E               Bm   A
And evening is the same
           B         E         A    E
And it's gonna be a long time woah-oh
         B                 B5  B
'Til I hear the 2:10 train


     B                 E     A    E
Well I looked out my window Woah-oh
         B                      B5  B
And I couldn't keep from cryin'
   B             E   A   E
I knew the old 2:10 Woah-oh
        B                    B5  B
Would take me down the line
       E               A    B    A
That driver on that engine Woah-oh
          E                 Bm   A
Well he ain't no friend of mine
      B             E     A    E
He's taken all the women Woah-oh
           B                  B5  B
And he's left the men behind


             B                E       A    E
Well now he won't be leaving Big Ben Woah-oh
       B                B5  B
For another seven years
                 B       E   A    E
I'm gonna find another baby Woah-oh
     B                   B5  B
To laugh away my tears
     E               A       B   A
When I get back to Houston woah-oh
      E              Bm   A
I'm gonna shout and tell
   B                E           A   E
Of how the Big Ben bought 'em Woah-oh
         B                   B5  B
It's a living burning hell


                B           E         A   E
Now when your lovin' baby leaves you Woah-oh
B                     B5  B
Don't you feel so bad
              B                E         A    E
It makes you think about the good times Woah-oh
          B                      B5  B
With the one time man you've had
       E            A        B   A
He's crying don't leave me here baby
E               Bm
Shackled to a chain
     B               E         A    E
But let me ride down with you woah-oh
  B                   B5 B
Along the 2:10 train
