500 Miles

       E                  C#m           F#m             A
If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone
        F#m               A              B
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles,
          E                C#m
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
          F#m               A
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
        F#m               A              B
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles


      E           C#m          F#m          A
Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
        F#m               A                B
And the land that I once loved was not my own
         E             C#m            F#m              A
Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four,
         F#m           A               B
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home


          E               C#m
A hundred tanks along the square,
        F#m                    A
One man stands and stops them there
         F#m                  A                 B
Some day soon, the tide will turn, and I'll be free
        E             C#m              F#m         A
I'll be free, I'll be free, I'll come home to my country,
         F#m                 A                B
Some day soon the tide will turn and I'll be free


       E                  C#m           F#m             A
If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone
        F#m               A              B
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles,
          E                C#m
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
          F#m               A
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
        F#m               A              B
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
