On The Atchison chords by Anne Shelton

Guitar chords with lyrics

E7      A    D9   A     D9   A   E7   A
Do you hear that whistle down the line
Cdim  A        D9      A     Cdim     A E7 A
 I   figure that it's engine number fortynine
E7        A    D9  A   D9      F#7       Cdim
She's the only    one that'll sound that way
        A       A9    D9  Cdim      E7      A
On the Atchison, Topeka    and the Santa Fe All aboard, she's on her way
E7      A    D9   A     D9   A    E7   A
See the old smoke risin'    round the bend
Cdim  A     D9       A         Cdim    A   E7  A
 I  reckon that she knows she's gonna meet a friend
E7         A  D9    A     D9      F#7     Cdim
Folks around these parts kept the time of day
          A         A9  D9   Cdim  E7      A
From the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe

Back in Ohio     where I come from

I've done a lot of dreamin' and I've travell'd   some

But I never thought I'd see the day
        A    A9     D9 Cdim     E7     A
When I ever took a ride on the Santa Fe
E7       A   D9 A   D9  A    E7   A
I would lean across my window  sill
Cdim  A       D9     A     Cdim  A    E7   A
And hear the whistle echoin'  across the hill
E7        A     D9   A    D9        F#7     Cdim
Then I'd watch the lights till they fade away

On the Atchison, Topeka    and the Santa Fe

From the day I heard them start

'Cross the Kansas plains from New Mexico

I guess I've got a little gypsy    in my heart
E7        A   D9  A   D9   A    E7    A
When I'm old and grey and settled    down
Cdim  A     D9      A      Cdim    A   E7   A
 If I ever get a chance to sneak away from town
E7         A    D9  A    D9 F#7   Cdim
Then I'll spend my busman's holiday
        A       A9    D9  Cdim      E7      A
On the Atchison, Topeka    and the Santa Fe
