Jim Henry - Sound Of The Whistle Blow


CAPO: 2nd Fret



Intro:
Am

Verse 1:
                C
Lights come up, lights go down
Dm        F      G     Am
And I'm a singer in between
                       C
I count my cash by the dashboard light
Dm          F        G         Am     Dm  F  G
I hit first gear and leave the scene

Verse 2:
Am            C
Town to town, night to night
Dm            F        G      Am
Big crowds or small, I do the show
                 C
A ten hour drive for one on the stage
Dm     F     G       Am
It's a crazy life, I know


Chorus:
F                           C
Well, I love the sound of a midnight train
G                       E       Am
The smell of the road after the rain
F                              C
A full tank, half a pack and a thousand miles to go
Dm         F            G       Am
I race the sound of the whistle blow


Verse 3:
                       C
When I'm gone, life at home goes on
Dm F         G       Am
My son knows ten new words
                       C
He cries for me in the middle of the night
Dm      F        G          Am
My wife lets him sleep with her


Chorus:
F                         C
And I love the sound of a midnight train
G                       E       Am
The smell of the road after the rain
F                              C
A full tank, half a pack and a thousand miles to go
Dm         F            G       Am
I race the sound of the whistle blow


Instrumental:
G  E  Am    F  C
Dm  F  G  Am    Dm  F  G  Am


Verse 4:
                      C
If you got the dough, that's where I go
Dm          F    G      Am
Sometimes I feel like a whore
                         C
But a gig's a gig, and I can't complain
Dm           F        G  Am
'Til I don't get gigs anymore


Chorus:
F                         C
And I love the sound of a midnight train
G                       E       Am
The smell of the road after the rain
F                              C
A full tank, half a pack and a thousand miles to go
Dm         F            G       Am
I race the sound of the whistle blow
Dm         F            G       Am
I race the sound of the whistle blow
