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

Bridge one
A7        D             D6              F#m        Bm
Here she comes  whoo whoo  oowhoo  oo whoo whoo whoo.
     A      Cdim   Bm5-/7 E7   A
Hey, Jim, ya better get  the rig
A7   D    D6      F#m         Bm
Oowhoo   whoo oowhoo  whoo whoo
      D             Cdim              Bm5-/7     E7
She's got a list of passengers that's mighty big
E7          A    D9   A    D9   A     E7   A
And they'll all want lifts to Brown's Hotel
 Cdim   A       D9        A      Cdim      A   E7  A
'Cause lots of them been travelin'    for quite a spell
E7       A   D9   A    D9 F#7   Cdim
All the way from Philadelpheyeaye
       A       A9    D9  Cdim      E7      A
On the Atchison, Topeka    and the Santa Fe
E7      A   D9 A  D9   A   E7   A
Back in Ohio     where I come from
Cdim  A     D9       A     Cdim        A    E7   A
I've done a lot of dreamin' and I've travell'd   some
E7     A D9   A     D9  F#7     Cdim
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
        A       A9    D9  Cdim      E7      A
On the Atchison, Topeka    and the Santa Fe

Bridge two:
A7        D             D7M            F#m         Bm
What a thrill with the wheels asingin' "westward ho"
D       Cdim   E7  Bm5-/7   D
From the day I heard them start
  D                   D7M    F#m           Bm
'Cross the Kansas plains from New Mexico
   D              Cdim            Bm5-/7    E7
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
