Whine Whistle Whine chords by Boxcar Willie

Intro: G D G D


verse 1
        D
Well, I hopped aboard a southbound freight,

and hid behind a packin' crate,
                                   Em
and settled back to catch me forty winks.
       G                 A
Got to thinkin' about my goodbye note,
    G                  A
and worryin' about the words I wrote,
    G                   A7               D
and wonderin' what that woman's goin' to think.

verse 2
D
She'd a made a darn good wife,

and had me workin' nine to five,
                                          Em
but thats what made this rambling feelin' grow.
    G                  A
And freezin' 'neath an old tin hat,
      G             A
ain't exactly where it's all at,
         G              A7            D
when the sun is shining bright in Mexico.


   G                   D
So whine, you whistle, whine.
A                                          D
Keepin' moving me on the further down that line.
G                   D
Whine, you whistle, whine.
          A                A7               D
There's a memory tryin' to catch up with my mind.


Interlude: G D G D


verse 3
D
Leavin' never hurt before,

but something's right outside that door,
                                     Em
and calls my name with every mile of track.
     G              A
This lonley feeling deep inside,
   G            A
is making it so hard to ride,
    G                 A7               D
and now and then I'll catch me lookin' back.


   G                   D
So whine, you whistle, whine.
A                                          D
Keepin' moving me on the further down that line.
G                   D
Whine, you whistle, whine.
          A                A7               D
There's a memory tryin' to catch up with my mind.
