Wabash Cannonball


   G+G                C majorC
  Out from the wide Pacific to the broad Atlantic shore,
       D MajorD            D7D7          G+G
  she climbs flowery mountains over hills and by the shore
    C majorC
  Although she's tall and handsome and she's known quite well by all,
         D MajorD           D7D7       G+G
  she's a regular combination of the Wabash Cannonball.

         G+G              C majorC
  Oh, the eastern states are dandy, so the western people say,
      D MajorD       D7D7        G+G
  Chicago, Rock Island, St. Louis by the way.

    C majorC
  To the lakes of Minnesota where the rippling waters fall,
       D MajorD          D7D7       G+G
  no changes to be taken on the Wabash Cannonball.

      G+G                 C majorC
  Oh, listen to the jingle, the rumor and the roar,
         D MajorD             D7D7        G+G
  as she glides along the woodlands over hills and by the shore
     C majorC
  She climbs the flowery mountains, hear the merry hobos squall,
       D MajorD              D7D7   G+G
  she glides along the woodlands, the Wabash Cannonball.

      G+G                     C majorC
  Oh, here's Old Daddy Cleton, let his name forever stand,
      D MajorD          D7D7        G+G
  and long be remembered 'bo's throughout the land
                       C majorC
  For he is a good old rounder, till the curtain round him fall,
         D MajorD             D7D7      G+G
  he'll be carried back to victory on the Wabash Cannonball.

        G+G                 C majorC
  I have rode the I.C. Limited, also the Royal Blue
     D MajorD             D7D7       G+G
  across the eastern countries on mail car number two.
        G+G              C majorC
  I have rode those highball trains from coast to coast that's all,
     D MajorD              D7D7     G+G
  but I have found no equal to the Wabash Cannonball.

      G+G                 C majorC
  Oh, listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar,

       D MajorD        D7D7            G+G
  as she glides along the woodlands over hills and by the shore
                    C majorC
  She climbs the flowery mountains, hear the merry hobos squall,
       D MajorD              D7D7    G+G
  she glides along the woodlands, the Wabash Cannonball
