   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#        
Lord, I'm nine hundred miles from 
   F#m     B
my home
        D                   C#    
And how I hate to hear that 
           F#m       B
lonesome whistle blow
