A
I quit my job, ain't got no money
A/G A/F# A/F A
Seems I have to leave this town
A
Packed my bag, run to the station
A/G
Board the train
A/F# A/F A
That's eastward bound
D
Tell Mama
A
And all the folks back home
E
Sometimes a man just feels
A
He's got to make it alone
D
Tell Mama
A
Why I'm leavin' so soon
E
Because this life I live
Has got me sick through
A
And through
A
Nothing to do
That's why I had to go
A/G A/F# A/F A
Seems no use in hangin' 'round
A
I can't stop now
The ticket's in my hand
A/G
Board the train
A/F# A/F A
That's eastward bound
D
Tell Mama
A
And all the folks back home
E
Sometimes a man just feels
A
He's got to make it alone
D
Tell Mama
A
Why I'm leavin' so soon
E
Because this life I live
Has got me sick through
A
And through
