A minorAm
I'm a-walking down the track, I've got tears in my eyes,
I'm tryin' to read a letter from my home;
DmDm
If that train runs right, I'll be home tomorrow night,
E7E7 A minorAm
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home.
DmDm E7E7 A minorAm (Bass walk E-G-A x2)
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow,
A minorAm
I will pawn you my watch, I will pawn you my chain,
I'll pawn you my gold watch and my chain;
DmDm
If that train runs right, I'll be home tomorrow night,
E7E7 A minorAm
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home.
DmDm E7E7 A minorAm (Bass walk E-G-A x2)
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow,
A minorAm
The train I ride on is a hundred coaches long.
You can hear her whistle blow a hundred miles;
DmDm
If that train runs right, I'll be home tomorrow night,
E7E7 A minorAm
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home.
DmDm E7E7 A minorAm (Bass walk E-G-A x2)
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow,
A minorAm
If my woman tells me so then I'll railroad no more.
But I'll sidetrack my train and go home.
DmDm
If that wheeler runs right, I'll be home tomorrow night,
E7E7 A minorAm
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home.
DmDm E7E7 A minorAm (Bass walk E-G-A x2)
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow,
