Intro:

F# C# D#m C# F# C# D#m C#

Verse 1:
F#          B          F#
  I talk to you on the telephone
C#          B           F#
   At least two times a day
D#m               B
  From hotels and truck stops
          F#                  C#
When I've been too long gone away
F#           B         F#
   And I can see Cincinnati
C#            B         F#
  From the Kentucky side
D#m                      B
   Though I can't walk between them
     F#                C#
When I look out on the night

Chorus:
        F#   C#    D#m          C#
I see a slow train crossing the bridge
B        C#   F#
Over the Ohio River
    F#            C#             D#m         C#
She bends and she winds and she's taking her time
B                C#
  But nobody can stop her
     D#m                    C#            B
From headlights through all ninety two boxcars
             C#
She will not rest
    F# C#     D#m          C#
And so too, I move towards you
   B      C#  F#
My love, Elizabeth

Instrumental:

F#  C#  D#m  C#  F#  C#  D#m  C#

Verse 2:
F#           B       F#
  You know I must be traveling
C#          B            F#
   You know that's who I am
D#m                       B
     You knew it when you met me
        F#              C#
And you knew it when we wed
F#       B           F#
  I'd do anything to ease your mind
C#     B              F#
  You say, "Babe just hold on"
D#m                  B
  Let's try a little patience
     F#                      C#
This longing's gonna make us strong"

Chorus:
              F#   C#    D#m          C#
And there's a slow train crossing the bridge
B        C#   F#
Over the Ohio River
                  C#            D#m          C#
She bends and she winds and she's taking her time
B              C#
But nobody can stop her
     D#m                  C#             B
From midnight through all hours till the morning
          C#
She won't rest
    F# C#     D#m          C#
And so too, I move towards you
   B      C#  F#
My love, Elizabeth
