Capo 1

[Verse 1]
      Am
I'm a-walking down the track, I've 
got tears in my eyes,

I'm tryin' to read a letter from my 
home;
If that train runs right, I'll be 
Dm
home tomorrow night,
                        E7         
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from 
   Am
my home.
      Dm                E7          
     Am  (Bass walk E-G-A x2)
And I hate to hear that lonesome 
whistle blow,

       Am
I will pawn you my watch, I will 
pawn you my chain,

I'll pawn you my gold watch and my 
chain;
If that train runs right, I'll be 
Dm
home tomorrow night,
                        E7         
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from 
   Am
my home.
      Dm                E7

whistle blow,

[Verse 3]
    Am
The train I ride on is a hundred 
coaches long.

You can hear her whistle blow a 
hundred miles;
If that train runs right, I'll be 
Dm
home tomorrow night,
                        E7         
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from 
   Am
my home.
      Dm                E7          
     Am  (Bass walk E-G-A x2)
And I hate to hear that lonesome 
whistle blow,

[Verse 4]
      Am
If my woman tells me so then I'll 
railroad no more.

But I'll sidetrack my train and go 
home.
If that wheeler runs right, I'll be 
Dm
home tomorrow night,
                        E7         
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from 
   Am
my home.
      Dm                E7          
     Am  (Bass walk E-G-A x2)
