Intro:
E minorEm A2

Verse 1:
E minorEm
I can see that train a comin'
      A2          E minorEm
Watch that big light shine this way

Hear that whistle softly blowing
      A2      E minorEm
Lord, it's been an awful day

Instrumental:
E minorEm A2 E minorEm | E minorEm A2 E minorEm

Verse 2:
E minorEm
I watched him leave that Friday morning
    A2       E minorEm
It was in the month of May

I told my son to be a good soldier
   A2        E minorEm
But return again some day

Verse 3:
E minorEm
He was returned just one year later
     A2        E minorEm
But, I'll not forget that day

The baggage car is where he traveled
   A2       E minorEm
In a casket where he lay

Chorus:
    D MajorD
Train man, keep your whistle blowing
     FF         E minorEm
Make it moan and make it whine
      D MajorD
You make a man feel mighty lonesome
    E minorEm D MajorD    C majorC
With a memory like mine....

Instrumental:
E minorEm A2 E minorEm | E minorEm A2 E minorEm

Verse 4:
E minorEm
In a little country graveyard
   A2       E minorEm
On a dark and dreary day

They laid a flag upon the casket
     A2      E minorEm
And the casket in the grave

Verse 5:
E minorEm
I couldn't stand it any longer
    A2        E minorEm
And I knew not what to pray

I cried, "Oh Lord, I hate to leave him
   A2        E minorEm
All alone beneath that clay"

Chorus:
    D MajorD
Train man, keep your whistle blowing
     FF         E minorEm
Make it moan and make it whine
      D MajorD
You make a man feel mighty lonesome
    E minorEm D MajorD    C majorC
With a memory like mine....

Instrumental:
E minorEm A2 E minorEm | E minorEm A2 E minorEm

Verse 6:
E minorEm
I can see him as a baby
   A2        E minorEm
I can hear him call my name

I can feel him under fire
      A2        E minorEm
And see him rising from the flames

Verse 7:
E minorEm
Lord, if I could I'd trade places
    A2       E minorEm
I would gladly give my all

I'd wrap that flag around me like a blanket
      A2        E minorEm
And listen for the clods to fall

Chorus:
    D MajorD
Train man, keep your whistle blowing
     FF         E minorEm
Make it moan and make it whine
      D MajorD
You make a man feel mighty lonesome
    E minorEm D MajorD    C majorC
With a memory like mine....

Chorus:
    D MajorD
Train man, keep your whistle blowing
     FF         E minorEm
Make it moan and make it whine
      D MajorD
You make a man feel mighty lonesome
    E minorEm D MajorD    C majorC
With a memory like mine....Just like mine

Instrumental:
E minorEm A2 E minorEm | E minorEm A2 E minorEm
