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

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