(I Heard that)Lonesome Whistle Blow
Bob Dylan
Capo 2
C# F# C#
I was riding number 9, heading south from Carolina.
G# C#
I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.
C# F# C#
Got in trouble, had to roam, left my girl, left my home.
G# C#
I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.
F#
Just a kid, acting smart,
C#
I went and broke my baby's heart.
D# G#
I guess I was too young to know.
C#
They took me off that Georgia Main
F# C#
and locked me to a ball and chain.
G# C#
I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.
C# F# C# G# C# (x2)
C# F# C#
All I do is sit and cry as the evening train goes by.
G# C#
I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.
F# C#
I'll be locked here in this cell, till my body's just a shell
D# G#
and my head turns whiter than snow.
C#
I'll never see that girl of mine
F# C#
'cos I'm in Georgia doing time.
G# C#
I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.
F# C#
I'll be locked here in this cell, till my body's just a shell
D# G#
and my head turns whiter than snow.
C#
I'll never see that girl of mine
F# C#
'cos I'm in Georgia doing time.
