F#m                       B
Well I'm walking down this track
F#m               B       F#m
With teats in my eyes
                  B           C#
Trying to read a letter from my home
       F#m            B
If this train runs me right
        F#m           B
I'll be home tomorrow night
      D                 C#           F#m     B
Lord, I'm nine hundred miles from my home
        D                   C#               F#m       B
And how I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow

F#m B


[Verse 2]
    F#m                 B
Well this train I ride on
     F#m                B
Is a hundred coaches long
     F#m                 B          C#
You can hear the whistle blowin' a hundred miles
           F#m            B
And if this train runs me right
        F#m           B
I'll be home by tomorrow night
      D                 C#           F#m     B
But I'm nine hundred miles from my home
        D                   C#               F#m       B
And how I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow


[Verse 3]
     F#m              B
Well I'll pawn you my watch
        F#m            B
And I'll pawn you my chain
         F#m          B        C#
I'll even pawn you my gold diamond ring
               F#m           B
'Cause if this train runs me right
        F#m           B
I'll be home tomorrow night
      D                 C#           F#m     B
Lord, I'm nine hundred miles from my home
     D                   C#               F#m       B
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow

     D                   C#               F#m       B
Yeah I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow
