       G                  Em            Am              C 
If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone, 
         Am                C             D 
you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles. 
           G                Em               Am               C 
A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, 
         Am               D              G 
you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles. 


          G              Em              Am               C 
Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two, Lord, I'm three, Lord, I'm four, 
           Am           C                D 
Lord, I'm five hundred miles a way from home. 
          G                Em              Am              C 
Away from home, away from home, away from home, away from home, 
          Am            D               G 
Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home. 


       G           Em         Am           C 
Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name. 
        Am            C            D 
Lord, I can't go back home this-a way. 
      G        Em        Am        C             Am           D         G 
This way, this way, this way, this way, Lord, I can't go back home this way.

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
