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

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