Verse 1:
G+G           D MajorD
I can hear the whistle blowing
           G+G
High and lonesome as can be
C majorC            G+G
Tonight the rain is softly falling
D MajorD          G+G
And its falling just for me

Chorus:
    D MajorD            G+G
Looking back along the road I've traveled
  D MajorD             G+G
The miles could tell a million tales

Each year Lord, like some rolling freight train,
  D MajorD            G+G
Is cold as starlight on the rails

Verse 2:
             D MajorD
I think about my home and family
                G+G
My house and all the things it means
  C majorC            G+G
The black smoke trailing out behind me
  D MajorD            G+G
Is like a string of broken dreams

Chorus:
    D MajorD            G+G
Looking back along the road I've traveled

Each year Lord, like some rolling freight train,

Is cold as starlight on the rails

Verse 3:
G+G             D MajorD
Now if you live out on the highway
                    G+G
You're like some clock that can't tell time
  C majorC           G+G
And if you spend your life just rambling
   D MajorD           G+G
Your like a song without a rhyme

Chorus:
    D MajorD            G+G
Looking back along the road I've traveled
  D MajorD             G+G
The miles could tell a million tales
        C majorC         G+G
Each year Lord, like some rolling freight train,
  D MajorD               G+G
Is cold, cold as starlight on the rails
