G                         Em
If you miss the train I'm on,
         Am             Am7
You will know that I am gone
        Am               D7
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.


G                          Em               Am              Am7
a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles a hundred miles -
        Am               D7              G
You can hear the whistle blow, a hundred miles.


G                      Em            Am              Am7            Am
Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four, Lord I'm five
        D7              G
hundred miles away from home.

Away from home, away from home, away from home, away from home,

Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home.


G                 Em          Am          Am7          Am            D7
Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name, Lord I can't go back home
      G
this a-way -

This a-way this a-way, this a-way, this a-way,

Lord I can't go back home this a-way.


G                         Em
If you miss the train I'm on,
         Am             Am7
You will know that I am gone -
        Am               D7             G
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
