Introdução: C9 A7(4) D
C9
This small town could eat me alive
A7(4) D
I gotta pack my things and go where the railroad takes me
D4(no5)
C9
But I've been saving up on most everyday
A7(4) D
Little bit out of each check from the Gas & Deli
C9 A7(4)
And the whistle keeps on blowing
D
And the train keeps on rolling
And he said
C9
I ain't never been to New York City
A7(4) D
I ain't seen the San Francisco Bay
C9
I ain't never tried my hand in Vegas
A7(4)
But you bet your bottom dollar
D
That's where I'm going the day after today
D4(no5)
C9
Took a six pack to get him through the night
A7(4) D
Didn't have a plan just a good sense of direction
D4(no5)
C9
She cried all night cause the sheet were clean
A7(4) D
But he left her a lovers' note there apologizing
C9 A7(4)
He said I hear the whistle blowing
D
Gotta catch it the train is rolling
CHORUS
C9
Ain't nothing green for like twenty miles
A7(4) D
And he ain't use to the sun and moon a hiding
D4(no5)
C9
And he packed his things and went back down south
A7(4) D
But Maybelline said "Babe my time's arising."
C9 A7(4)
Said I hear the whistle blowing
D
Gotta catch it the train is rolling
And she said
C9
I ain't never been to New York City
A7(4) D
I ain't seen the San Francisco Bay
C9
I ain't never tried my hand in Vegas
A7(4) D
I never seen the L.A lights shine bright
G
Bright, brighter than your smile was ever
C9
Brighter than my desire was ever
A7(4) D
Longer burning than our love was ever...ohhhhh
CHORUS
