[Verse 1]

       C
It's a long steel rail and a short cross tie
    F              C
I'm on my way back home
    C       F          C            Am
I'm on that train the king of them all
     C           G     C
That streamlined cannonball


[Chorus]

C
She moves along like a cannonball
       F                     C
Like a star in it's heavenly flight
    C        F            C           Am
The lonesome sound of the whistle you love
   C           G           C
As she travels through the night

[Verse 2]

C
I can see a smile on the engineer's face
      F                   C
And although he's old and gray
C           F        C             Am
A contented heart he waits for his call
       C          G     C
On the streamline cannonball


[Chorus]

C
She moves along like a cannonball
       F                     C
Like a star in it's heavenly flight
    C        F              C           Am
The lonesome sound from the whistle you love
   C           G           C
As she travels through the night

[Verse 3]

C
The headlight beams out in the night
        F                     C
And the firebox flash you can see
C           F               C           Am
I ride them blinds it's the life that I love
          C          G       C
Lord it's home sweet home to me


[Chorus]

C
She moves along like a cannonball
       F                     C
Like a star in it's heavenly flight
    C        F            C           Am
The lonesome sound of the whistle you love
   C           G           C
As she travels through the night
