Wabash Cannonball Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]
She
Came
down from
Birmingham one cold
December [C]day
As she [D]rode into the station you
could hear the people sing
[G]That train from
Indiana, she's long and she's [C]tall
I [D]had some combination called the
Wabash
Cannon[G]ball
Hey, listen to the jingle,
the rumble and the [C]roar
As [D]she comes down the mountains,
through the hills and by the [G]shore
Hear the mighty rush of engine,
hear the lonesome hobos [C]call
He's [D]racing through his jungle on the
Wabash
Cannon[G]ball
From the great
Atlantic
Ocean to the wide
Pacific shore
[C]From the gre[D]en and flowing mountains
to the hotel by the [G]moor
She's long and she's handsome
and quite well -known by [C]all
A [D]handsome combination called the
Wabash
Cannon[G]ball
Hey, listen to the jingle,
the rumble and the [C]roar
As [D]she comes down the mountains,
through the hills and by the [G]shore
Hear the mighty roars of engine,
hear the lonesome hobos [C]call
He's [D]ra cing through the
jungle on the
Wabash
Cannon[G]ball
Well, here's to that old engineer,
his name will [C]ever stand
[D]He'll always be remembered in
the chorus throughout the [G]land
When this mighty race is over,
and the curtains round it [C]fall
They'll [D]carry him back to
Dixie on the
Wabash
Cannon[G]ball
Hey, listen to the jingle,
hear the rumble, hear the [C]roar
As [D]he comes down the mountain,
through the hills and by the [G]shore
Hear the mighty race of engine,
hear the lonesome hobo's [C]call
Ah!
[D]Yeah, he races through the
jungle on the
Wabash
Cannon[G]ball
you
