Lonesome Whistle

G       C       F       Am


[Verse 1]
         C          Am            
All eyes out on the railroad, all 
     C          Am
eyes out on the sea
          G                C      
All these means of travel, 
                         F         
darling, mean nothing once your 
        Am
soul has been set free
             C               
So hear that lonesome whistle 
 Am             C           Am
blowing in the shadow of a sail
              G                    
The winds are high and the tides 
  C                         
are flowing, that high ball's 
F                Am
rolling down the rail

[Verse 2]
       C              Am    
Little redbird in the corner, 
            C                Am
there's a blackbird at the door
           G                 C    
And Lord I know if he should ever 
               F                   
cross over the blood would hit the 
Am
floor
             C               
So hear that lonesome whistle 
 Am                 C             
blowing, hear that engine cough 
   Am
and whine
          G                   C   
See those black sails meet 
            F                    
horizons, that old blackbird knows 
Am
it's time

        C               Am        
Harken, hear the angels humming, 
         C             Am
six white horses set to run
             G                  
And my bones rattle 'tween their 
 C                F              Am
rumbling and the setting of the sun
