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

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