[Verse]
          G
By a lonely railroad station
   C              G
A dog sits patiently

And as each train rolls down the track
   D
He watches eagerly
      G
But the one that he is waiting for
      C                 G
Does not come off the train
      C                    G   
And when the crowds have gone their way
    D               G
He drops his head again

[Chorus]
        C                   G
Cause he doesn't know his master lay 
        C               G
On the battle field to die
     C                G
He didn't hear the soldier say
 D            G
Rusty it's goodbye

    G
It's many months now since the day
    C              G
He saw his master go

A figure clad in khaki
    D
Is one he'll always know
       G
But the lonely dog keeps waiting
      C                  G
For each long days the same
      C                G
He longs to see his masters face
      D                G
And hear him call his name

[Chorus]
 G
Rusty he'll not see again
     C                G
The pal he's waiting for

Their happy days together
  D
Gone forever more
   G
The station master sees him there
      C              G
And knows why he's alone
   C                 G
Although he can't replace his lost
     D                G
He treats him as his own

Repeat chorus
