Lonesome Train Whistle by Reverend Horton Heat
Lonesome Train Whistle
Gm - - - - D - - - - 4x
Gm Bb
Hear that long lonesome train
Gm
Whistle crying in the wind
Hear that long lonesome sound
That's become my only friend
When it whispers out my name
That's when the tears begin to roll
Because the world out there awaits me
And I know it's time to go
F Gm
Hear that long lonesome train
Hear that long lonesome train
Hear that long lonesome train
D Gm
whistle cry, in the wind
There's a place on the horizon
And it holds a fate for me
When I hear that lonesome sound
Then I know it's time to see
Hear that long lonesome train
Hear that long lonesome train
Hear that long lonesome train
whistle cry, in the wind
Hear that long lonesome train
Whistle crying in the wind
Hear that long lonesome sound
That's become my only friend
Hear that long lonesome train
Hear that long lonesome train
Hear that long lonesome train
whistle cry, in the wind
In the wind, in the wind
In the wind, in the wind
