Verse 1:
N.C.          G                     D 
Lonely is the sound whining through the valley 
                 G                  D 
Passin' nameless towns, movin' home to you 
           G                                       D 
Many years ago sweet darlin you were wavin' at the station 
                   G                      D 
Thinking 'bout the time, Lord I was so close to you 

              A              G         D 
Ooh, but it's hard, yes it's hard on a woman 
         A      G          F 
But it's harder still on a man now babe 
             A       G                 D 
I just can't sink my roots down in the valley, baby 
      A         G               F 
But I hope some day you'll understand darlin' 
                   G                                    D     N.C. 
I hope you'll understand sweet babe,'bout the ways of a man. 


Verse 2:
N.C.            G                 D 
When I hear the sound of that lonesome whistle 
                G                      D 
Deep down in my soul you know it calls for me 
                 G                               D 
I'm torn between your love and that ageless urge for roamin' babe 
A               G                                  D 
I'll be back in spring, won't you please just wait and see. 

 
         A              G         D 
Well it's hard, yes it's hard on a woman 
               A      G          F 
Well, but it's harder still on a man now babe 
                     A       G                 D 
I just can't seem to sink my roots down in the valley, darlin' 
            A         G               F 
Well, but I hope some day you'll understand darlin' 
                   G                                     D    N.C. 
I hope you'll understand sweet babe, 'bout the ways of a man

Maybe in a while my wanderin' will be over 
               G                           D 
I won't have a need Lord to see those city lights 
              G                                 D 
But until the day won't you please just tell me that you love me, baby 
             G                            D 
And when I return, Lord I'll warm your coldest nights 

               A              G         D

But it's harder still on man now babe

I just can't sink my roots up in your mountains, baby 
            A         G               F 
Well, but I hope some day you'll understand darlin 
                   G 
I hope you'll understand baby 
                      F 
Said won't you please listen, please 
                G 
And try to understand darling 
                   F 
Why won't you just listen to me babe 
                G                                       D 
And try to understand sweet darlin' about the ways of a man.
