Streamlined Cannon Ball Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Whoa, whoa, [G]whoa,
that's the [C]whistle you [Am]love
As she [C]travels [G]through the [C]night
A long steel rail, a short cross -tire,
[Am]I'm [F]on my way back h[C]ome.
The [G]train [C]I rid[F]e is the que[C]en of them all[Am],
[C]the streamlined [G]cannon [C]ball.
I can see the smile of the engineer,
although [F]he's old and [C]gray.[G][C]
Contented [F]heart, he [C]waits for the [Am]call
of the [C]streamlined [G]can[C]nonball.
She moves along like a cannonball,
like a [F]star in a heavenly [C]cloud.
It's a lonesome [F]sound
from the [C]whistle you [Am]blow
As it [C]travels [G]through the [C]night
Her headlights gleam out in the night,
the [F]firebox flash you [C]see.
is the blonde I [F]like
and the [C]wife that I [Am]love is [C]home,
sweet [G]home to [C]me.
She moves along like a cannonball,
like a [F]star in its heavenly [C]flight.
It's the lonesome [F]sound
of the [C]whistle you [Am]love
as she [C]travels [G]through the [C]night.
Bye, bye, [G]bye.
[C]
