Cpo 2 



D 
The alley dogs are barking chickens crowing down the lane 
                                           A   
I feel just like that rooster with his mournful low refrain 
         G                  A          G                  A 
With the sundown on my shoulder justa hanging 'round the yard 
        G                 A                        D 
I'll be leaving here tomorrow gonna catch an empty car 


D 
There's a thousand constellations in that brilliant beaming sky 
                                              A 
But the earth is just one station on that lonesome starry line 
          G                   A          G                A 
There's a distant whistle blowing down a rusty stretch of track 
        G                  A                         D 
And I'm just an empty coal car on a train not coming back
