H[C]ometown l[F]ady l[C]eavin' for the c[F]ity
B[C]ags in hand she's b[Am]oarding the tr[G]ain
H[C]er last look through the w[F]indow
[C]I saw her eyes were as r[F]ed as mine
[C]I wave goodbye but I c[Am]an't believe she's le[G]aving
But a w[F]oman can't be h[G]igh class
In a l[C]onely f[G/B]armer's t[Am]own[C/G]
[F]And the son of a p[G]oor man
