Watchhouse (Mandolin Orange) – Train Song (Guitar)

  G                                 C                G
I never did have that fast train to take me down the line

   D                                        G      G7 (walk up to C)
Or smelled the smoke from a hot coal as the engine fired

     C                              G    (F# walk down)     Em
If I could ask that engineer for one more mile and then I’ll go

             C                D          G
Just let the whistle wail and take it in slow

  G                                 C                G
Take me back to the railroad track and the sounds inside my mind

   D                                        G      G7 (walk up to C)
Where rusty wheels and steel rails still whine

  C                              G    (F# walk down)     Em
Where I can hop that 909 and go back in time some time ago

             C                D          G
Just let the whistle wail and take it in slow

  G                         C             G
Park my horse and buggie by some old lazy creek

   D                                   G      G7 (walk up to C)
Take my car to the graveyard and dig a hole real deep

 C                              G    (F# walk down)     Em
We’ll holler “rest in peace” and weep, lay track on every street

             C                D          G
Let the whistle wail and give the rail my soul to keep

 C                              G    (F# walk down)  Em
Mr. engineer just one more mile and then I’ll go

             C                D          G
Just let the whistle wail and take it in slow

             C                D          G
Let the whistle wail and take it in slow
