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

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