The Streamlined Cannon Ball Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
A [G]long steel
[D]rail a [G]short cross tie
I'm [C]on my way back [G]home
I'm on [C]the train the [G]king of them all
That Streamlined Can[D]non[G]ball

[Verse 2]
She [G]moves along [D]like a [G]cannonball
Like a [C]star in its heavenly [G]flight
This [C]lonesome sound of
the [G]whistle you love
As she travels [D]through the
[G]night

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
Her [G]headlight [D]gleams out [G]in the night
The [C]firebox flash you [G]see
The blinds [C]I ride, the l[G]ights that I love
It's home sweet [D]home to [G]me

[Verse 4]
She [G]moves along [D]like a [G]cannonball
Like a [C]star in its heavenly [G]flight
This [C]lonesome sound of the
[G]whistle you love
As she travels [D]through the [G]night
[D]

[Interlude 2]
[G][C][G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 5]
I can [G]see the smile [D]of the [G]engineer
Al[C]though he's old and [G]gray
A conten[C]ted heart he [G]awaits a call
Of the Streamlined Can[D]non[G]ball

[Verse 6]
She [G]moves along [D]like a [G]cannonball
Like a [C]star in its heavenly [G]flight
This lonesome [C]sound of the
[G]whistle you love
As she travels [D]through the
[G]night

[Outro 1]
[G][D][G][C][G][C][G][D][G]
