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

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