1. I got so down and out in 'Frisco,

                                            G

    tired of the pills and the rain.

   G

    I picked up, headed for the sunshine,

    C                                G

    I left a good thing behind.

                   C                                G

    Seemed all of our love was in vain,

             G                                          D          G

    and my baby's coming in on the Tucson train.

2. I come here looking for a new life,

                                              G

    one I wouldn't have to explain.

                 G

    to that voice that keeps me awake at night

                           C                                            G

    when a little peace would make everything right.

       C                                     G

    If I could just turn off my brain.

                    G                                           D          G

    And now my baby's coming in on the Tucson train.

      C                               G

+  We fought hard over nothing,

      C                                    G

    we fought till nothing remained,

             C                                    G

    I've carried that nothing for a long time.

                G

    Now I carry my operator's license,

                              G                                 D

    and spend my days just running this crane.

3. Hard work'll clear your mind and body,

                                                     C

    the hard sun will burn out the pain.

                    G

    If they're looking for me, tell 'em, buddy,

      C                                    G

    I'm waiting down at the station,

              C                            G

    just praying to the five-fifteen.

    C                             G

    I'll wait all God's creation

                   G                               D

    just to show her a man can change.

              D                                                       G

    Now my baby's coming in on the Tucson train.

 

    G - G - C                            G     - G - C                            G     - G

+                  On the Tucson train !             On the Tucson train !

C                                      G    - G                  C

     Waiting on the five-fifteen.      Here she comes !
