Ricky Nelson - Lonesome Whistle Blow
Recorded: 1967

[Intro]
A augmentedA  E MajorE  A augmentedA

[Verse]
A augmentedA
I was ridin' Number Nine
    D MajorD       A augmentedA
Headin' south from Caroline
        E MajorE       A augmentedA
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
A augmentedA
I got in trouble, I had to roam
    D MajorD        A augmentedA
Left my gal and left my home

[Chorus]
A augmentedA        E minorEm      A minorAm
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.

[Verse]
    D MajorD
Just a kid actin' smart
      A augmentedA
I went and broke my darlin's heart
              E MajorE
I guess I was too young to know.
       A augmentedA
They took me off the Georgia Main
     D MajorD       A augmentedA
Locked me to a ball and chain

[Chorus]
        E MajorE       A augmentedA
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

[Solo]
A augmentedA  E MajorE  A augmentedA

[Verse]
A augmentedA
All alone I bear the shame
   D MajorD       A augmentedA
I'm a number, not a name
        E MajorE       A augmentedA    F# minorF#m
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
   A augmentedA
All I do is sit and cry
     D MajorD    A augmentedA
When that evening train goes by

[Chorus]
        E MajorE       A augmentedA
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.

[Verse]
    D MajorD
I'll be locked here in this cell
    A augmentedA
'Til my body's just a shell
               E MajorE
And my hair turns whiter than snow
   A augmentedA
I'll never see that gal of mine
    D MajorD       A augmentedA
I'm in Georgia doing time

[Outro]
        E MajorE       A augmentedA    A minorAm  A augmentedA
