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

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