Capo: 3 Tuning: E A D G B E

[STANDARD TUNING KEY OF Gm ] [CAPO 3 (CHORDS IN CAPO 3 FORMATION)] [Intro] Em A2 [Verse 1]

^EmI can see that train a comin' Watch that ^A2big light shine this ^Emway

Hear that whistle softly blowing

Lord, it's b^A2een an awful ^Emday [Instrumental] Em A2 Em | Em A2 Em

[Verse 2]

^EmI watched him leave that Friday morning It was ^A2in the month of ^EmMay

I told my son to be a good soldier

But re^A2turn again some d^Emay [Verse 3] ^EmHe was returned just one year later But, I'll ^A2not forget that d^Emay

The baggage car is where he traveled

In a ^A2casket where he ^Emlay [Chorus] Train m^Dan, keep your whistle blowing Make it m^Foan and make it wh^Emine You make a m^Dan feel mighty lonesome With a ^Emmemo^Dry like m^Cine....

[Instrumental] Em A2 Em | Em A2 Em [Verse 4]

^EmIn a little country graveyard On a d^A2ark and dreary ^Emday

They laid a flag upon the casket

And the c^A2asket in the g^Emrave [Verse 5] ^EmI couldn't stand it any longer And I k^A2new not what to p^Emray

I cried, "Oh Lord, I hate to leave him

All al^A2one beneath that c^Emlay" [Chorus] Train m^Dan, keep your whistle blowing Make it m^Foan and make it wh^Emine You make a m^Dan feel mighty lonesome With a ^Emmemo^Dry like m^Cine....

[Instrumental] Em A2 Em | Em A2 Em [Verse 6]

^EmI can see him as a baby I can ^A2hear him call my n^Emame

I can feel him under fire

And see him ^A2rising from the f^Emlames [Verse 7] ^EmLord, if I could I'd trade places I would ^A2gladly give my ^Emall

I'd wrap that flag around me like a blanket

And listen ^A2for the clods to ^Emfall [Chorus] Train m^Dan, keep your whistle blowing Make it m^Foan and make it wh^Emine You make a m^Dan feel mighty lonesome With a ^Emmemo^Dry like m^Cine....

[Chorus]

Train m^Dan, keep your whistle blowing Make it m^Foan and make it wh^Emine You make a m^Dan feel mighty lonesome With a ^Emmemo^Dry like m^Cine....Just like mine

[Instrumental] Em A2 Em | Em A2 Em
