[C] [F] [C] [Am]
[C] [G] [C]
[Verse 1]
It's a [C]long steel rail and a short cross tie
I'm [F]on my way back [C]home
I'm [C]on that [F]train the k[C]ing of them a[Am]ll
That [C]streamlined [G]cannon[C]ball
[Cborus]
[C]She moves along like a cannonball
Like a [F]star in it's heavenly [C]flight
The [C]lonesome [F]sound of the [C]whistle you [Am]love
As [C]she travels [G]through the [C]night
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
[C]I can see a smile on the engineer's face
And al[F]though he's old and [C]gray
[C]A contented [F]heart he [C]waits for his [Am]call
On the [C]streamline [G]cannon[C]ball
[Cborus]
[C]She moves along like a cannonball
Like a [F]star in it's heavenly [C]flight
The [C]lonesome [F]sound from the [C]whistle you [Am]love
As [C]she travels [G]through the [C]night
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
[C]The headlight beams out in the night
And the [F]firebox flash you can [C]see
[C]I ride them [F]blinds it's the [C]life that I [Am]love
Lord it's [C]home sweet [G]home to [C]me
[Cborus]
[C]She moves along like a cannonball
Like a [F]star in it's heavenly [C]flight
The [C]lonesome [F]sound of the [C]whistle you [Am]love
As [C]she travels [G]through the [C]night
[Outro]
[C]Travels [G]through the [C]night (Fade)
