[Intro 1]

[Eb]
[D]Do you

[Verse 1]
[G]hear that whistle down the line,
I figure that it's Engine #49,
She's the only one that'll sound [Em]that way on the Atchis[D]on,
[E]Topeka [A]and [D]the Santa [G]Fe.
See the old smoke rising round the bend,
I reckon that she knows she's
gonna meet a friend.

[Verse 2]
Folks [G]around these parts
set the time of day
[Em]From on the Atchison,[Eb]
[Em]Topeka [A]and [D]the Santa Fe.
[G]Here she com[Eb]es, whoo oo oo oo,
hey Jim, you better get the rig.
[Bb]Whoo oo[Eb]

[Verse 3]
[Ebm]oo oo,[Eb]
she's got a [F]list of [Eb]passen[F]gers [Eb]that's pretty big
[C]An [D]d they'll all wan[E]t a lift
[G]to Brown's Hotel,
'Cause lots of them been
traveling for quite a spell
All the way [F]from Phil[Em]adelphi[Eb]a on the Atc[D]hison,
[A]Topeka and [D]the Santa [G]Fe.
[Em]All aboard,

[Verse 4]
all [Eb]aboard,
[B]oo oo oo.
Let her [F#]rip, let her rip, Mr. Engineer,
Gotta go, gotta go far away from here.
While the [G]man at the fire
shovels in the coals,
Stick your head out the cab
and watch the drivers roll.
[E]See the

[Verse 5]
towns and the roads
go a whizzing by,
Fare thee well Laramie and
Rocky Mountain High,
Yes sir[Adim]ree, he[A]re we are, going all the way,
mustn't [Em]quit 'til we [Fdim]hit Cal[Fm]i for[A]nia.
[D][Am]

[Verse 6]
[D][Am][D]
See the [G]old smoke rising round the bend,
I reckon that she knows she's
gonna meet a friend.
Folks around these [A]parts
set the time of day
[G]From on the Atc[A]hison,
Topeka and the [G]Santa Fe.
