Intro:
Em  A2

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

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

Instrumental:
Em  A2  Em | Em  A2  Em

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

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

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

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

Chorus:
       D
Train man, keep your whistle blowing
         F                 Em
Make it moan and make it whine
            D
You make a man feel mighty lonesome
       Em  D        C
With a memory like mine....

Instrumental:
Em  A2  Em  |  Em  A2  Em

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

They laid a flag upon the casket
         A2            Em
And the casket in the grave

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

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

Chorus:
       D
Train man, keep your whistle blowing
         F                 Em
Make it moan and make it whine
            D
You make a man feel mighty lonesome
       Em  D        C
With a memory like mine....

Instrumental:
Em  A2  Em  |  Em  A2  Em

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

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

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

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

Chorus:
       D
Train man, keep your whistle blowing
         F                 Em
Make it moan and make it whine
            D
You make a man feel mighty lonesome
       Em  D        C
With a memory like mine....

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

Instrumental:
Em  A2  Em  |  Em  A2  Em
