Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C#][G][C#][D][G][Bm][D][Ab]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]It's a long steel rail and a short [Db]crosstie. I'm
[Gb]on my wa[G]y back h[C#]ome. I'm on that t[G]rain, the king of them a[Bm]ll.
That [D]streamlined can[A]non[Ab]ball.
[C#]She move[D]s along like[C#] a cannon ball,
[D]like a s[F#]tar in its heavenly fli[C#]ght.
The lonesome [F#]sound of [C#]the whistle you
[Bm]love as you [C#]travel through [Ab]the n[Db]ight.
Let me hear you,
[D]boy.

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][C#][D][G][Bm][D][Ab][D]
Head[C#]light beams out

[Verse 2]
through the [D]night
And the [G]fire[F#]bots [G]flash, you can [Db]see
[D]I r[Db]ide them b[Gb]linds,
it's the life [Db]that I [Cbm]love
For it's [Db]home, sweet [Ab]home [A]to [D]me
Movin' along like a [Db]cannonball

[Verse 3]
Like [Gb]a in its heavenly fli[Db]ght
A balsam [Gb]sound with a

[Verse 4]
[Db]whistle you [Cbm]love
As you [Db]travel through

[Verse 5]
[Ab]the nigh[C#]t
[D]

[Interlude 2]
[G][D][G][Bm][A][Ab][A]
[D]

[Verse 6]
I can see a smile [C#]on the engineer's face
And [F#]although he's old [G]and [D]gray
[C#]In h[D]is heart[G] he wait[C#]s for his c[D]all[Bm]
On that [C#]streamlined can[A]nonball
[Db]You pick one b[D]oy[Db][Gb][Db][Cbm][C#]
[D]Ah, [C#]now that's pretty
She moves [D]along [C#]like a cannonball
[D]Like [F#]a star in its [G]heavenly [D]flight
The lone[D]some [G]sound, the whistle [C#]you love
As you travel through [Ab]the [C#]night
