Lonesome Whistle

C       Am      C       Am
G       C       F       Am


[Verse 1]
         C          Am                 C          Am
All eyes out on the railroad, all eyes out on the sea
          G                C                               F                 Am
All these means of travel, darling, mean nothing once your soul has been set free
             C                Am             C           Am
So hear that lonesome whistle blowing in the shadow of a sail
              G                      C                         F                Am
The winds are high and the tides are flowing, that high ball's rolling down the rail

[Verse 2]
       C              Am                C                Am
Little redbird in the corner, there's a blackbird at the door
           G                 C                   F                   Am
And Lord I know if he should ever cross over the blood would hit the floor
             C                Am                 C                Am
So hear that lonesome whistle blowing, hear that engine cough and whine
          G                   C               F                    Am
See those black sails meet horizons, that old blackbird knows it's time

[Verse 3]
        C               Am                 C             Am
Harken, hear the angels humming, six white horses set to run
             G                   C                F              Am
And my bones rattle 'tween their rumbling and the setting of the sun
