Tom: D
D A
I can hear the whistle blowing
A D
High and lonesome as can be
G D
Tonight the rain is softly falling
A A7 D
And its falling just for me
[Chorus]
A D
Looking back along the road I've traveled
A D
The miles could tell a million tales
D G D
Each year Lord, like some rolling freight train,
A A7 D
Is cold as starlight on the rails
[Verse 2]
D A
I think about my home and family
A D
My house and all the things it means
G D
The black smoke trailing out behind me
A A7 D
Is like a string of broken dreams
[Chorus]
A D
Looking back along the road I've traveled
A D
The miles could tell a million tales
D G D
Each year Lord, like some rolling freight train,
A A7 D
Is cold as starlight on the rails
[Verse 3]
D A
Now if you live out on the highway
A D
You're like some clock that can't tell time
G A
And if you spend your life just rambling
A A7 D
You're like a song without a rhyme
[Chorus]
A D
Looking back along the road I've traveled
A D
The miles could tell a million tales
D G D
Each year Lord, like some rolling freight train,
A A7 D
Is cold as starlight on the rails
