Verse:
Take the Last Train to Clarksville and I must hang up the phone, I can’t hear you in this noisy railroad station all alone, I’m feelin’ low

The Song goes through another break and so strum Gsus and Fsus repeating 8X
Verse:

Oh no, no noooooo, Oh no no nooooooo
And I don’t know if I’m ever comin’ home
Take the Last Train to Clarksville, Take the Last Train to Clarksville (end with the same rift)
The song is pretty straight forward. It takes a little practice though. The symbol ~ means to let ring out. For the verse to go fast enough I suggest strumming down up down, up down up down. Enjoy.
