I heard that lonesome whistle blow - Dave Evans chords
Start Jamming...
[F#m]
[D]
Yes, I was right, eight over nine, [G] getting soft from the [D] carrying line.
Heard that long, [A] long, long [D] whistle blow.
I got in trouble, had to roam, [F]
left [G] my gal, left [D] my home.
Heard that long, [A] long, long [D] whistle blow.
[G] Just a kid, acted shy, I [D] went broke, my darling child.
I guess I was too [A] young to know, they [D] took me off that road you made.
And [G] locked me to a bowling [D]
chain.
I heard that long, long, [A]
long [D] whistle blow.

[D]
All along, I bear the shame, [G] I'm just a number, got [D] no name.
Heard that long, [A] long, long [D] whistle blow.
All I do is sit and cry, [G] when that old evening train [D] goes by.
I heard that long, [A] long [D] whistle blow.
I'll [G] be locked here in this cell, till my body just a shell.
And my hair turned [A] weary and sore.
[D] I'll never see that gal of mine, I'm [G] here in Georgia, [D] no time.
I heard that long, [A] long whistle [D] blow.
I heard that long, [A] long, [E] long [D] whistle blow.
