[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][D][Bm]
[D][Bm][D][Bm]

[Verse 1]
Al[D]though
I've left you [Bm]darling
I'll [D]soon be back [Bm]again
That's [D]what I said in [Bm]China
Where [D]all the work was [Bm]dead
I [D]hope you get my [Bm]letters
I'll [D]write them every [Bm]day
I'll [D]soon be heading [Bm]eastwards
I'm [D]hammering the [Bm]nails

[Verse 2]
I'm [G]working on [Em]the railroad
I [F#m]dig away the ti[Bm]me
I'm [G]singing to [Em]the work song
With [F#m]memories in [Bm]mind

[Verse 3]
[D]I'll sail to Hong Kong [Bm]harbor
[D]The winds were warmer [Bm]there
[D]The sweat would roll down [Bm]my back
While [D]digging at the [Bm]earth

[Verse 4]
While [D]talking of you [Bm]darling
I'd [D]show your photo[Bm]graph
And [D]point it over [Bm]westwards
Way [D]over past the [Bm]tracks

[Verse 5]
I'm [G]working on [Em]the railroad
I [F#m]dig away the ti[Bm]me
I'm [G]singing to [Em]the work song
With [F#m]memories in [Bm]mind

[Verse 6]
I'm [G]working on [Em]the railroad
I [F#m]dig away the ti[Bm]me
I'm [G]singing to [Em]the work song
With [F#m]memories in [Bm]mind
Of [D]you... [Bm]of y[D]ou,[Bm][D]
[Bm]oh!

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 7]
[D]I've saved [Bm]every [D]penny, my [Bm]girl
I [D]hope that [Bm]you have w[D]aited out [Bm]there
For [D]all my [Bm]love when [D]I get h[Bm]ome
Cause [D]deep down [Bm]in my he[D]art,
there's a [Bm]hole?
