Starlight On The Rails

Key: G

Introduction:

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