[Verse 1]
F#m E F#m D
Caro line, Caro line
A D E
I never could leave you to struggle
F#m E F#m D
Hold the line, hold the line
A D E
I'll be there on the double
F#m E F#m D
In time, in time
A D E
Everyone does see trouble
[Chorus]
F#m D E
And you don't need to know why when you cry
F#m D
You don't need to know why
F#m D E
You don't need to know why when you cry
[Verse 2]
F#m E F#m D
Violet's eyes, Violet plays
A D E
Going back home to the Great Lakes
F#m E
Where the cattail sways
F#m D
With the lonesome loon
A D E
Riding that train in late June
[Chorus]
F#m D E
With the windows wide by my side
F#m D
With the windows wide
F#m D E
With the windows wide by my side
[Verse 3]
F#m E F#m D
And the clusters fell, like an empty bell
A D E
Meteor shower at the motel
F#m E F#m D
Where the empty space is a saving grace
A D E
Making good time and doing well
F#m E F#m D
Still the question sings, like Saturn's rings
A D E
Maybe she knows and she won't tell
[Chorus]
F#m D E
But you don't need to know why when you cry
F#m D
You don't need to know why
F#m D E
You don't need to know why when you cry
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
F#m E F#m D
And I find you there in your country flair
A D E
Middle of the river in a lawn chair
F#m E F#m D
With your wrinkled hands and your silver hair
A D E
Leaving here soon and you know where
F#m E F#m D
To where the cattail sways with the lonesome loon
A D E
You'll be riding that train in late June
[Chorus]
F#m D E
With the windows wide by your side
F#m D
With the windows wide
F#m D E
With the windows wide by your side
F#m D
You don't need to know why
F#m D E
You don't need to know why when you cry
