G                            C
    Out from the wide Pacific to the broad Atlantic shore,
         D                            D7                 G
    she climbs flowery mountains o'er hills and by the shore.
                                                 C
    Although she's tall and handsome and she's known quite well by all,
             D                          D7           G
    she's a regular combination of the Wabash Cannonball.

             G                                C
    Oh, the eastern states are dandy, so the western people say,
        D                      D7           G
    Chicago, Rock Island, St. Louis by the way.
                                         C
    To the lakes of Minnesota where the rippling waters fall,
         D                         D7           G
    no changes to be taken on the Wabash Cannonball.

        G                          C
    Oh, listen to the jingle, the rumor and the roar,
            D                              D7                 G
    as she glides along the woodlands o'er hills and by the shore.
                                                C
    She climbs the flowery mountains, hear the merry hobos squall,
         D                               D7           G
    she glides along the woodlands, the Wabash Cannonball.

         G                                C
    Oh, here's Old Daddy Cleton, let his name forever be,
         D                         D7              G
    and long be remembered in the courts of Tennessee.
                                            C
    For he is a good old rounder, till the curtain round him fall,
              D                              D7           G
    he'll be carried back to victory on the Wabash Cannonball.

            G                       C
    I have rode the I.C. Limited, also the Royal Blue
       D                             D7              G
    across the eastern countries on mail car number two.
            G                               C
    I have rode those highball trains from coast to coast that's all,
       D                              D7           G
    but I have found no equal to the Wabash Cannonball.

        G                          C
    Oh, listen to the jingle, the rumor and the roar,
            D                              D7                 G
    as she glides along the woodlands o'er hills and by the shore.
                                                C
    She climbs the flowery mountains, hear the merry hobos squall,
         D                               D7           G
    she glides along the woodlands, the Wabash Cannonball
