Verse
D D7 G D
I remember as a boy how in wonderment and joy,
D A
I’d watch the trains as they roll by
D D7 G D
And the whistle’s lonesome sound you could hear for miles around,
D A D
As they rolled across that Greenville Trestle high.
[Chorus]
G D D A
But the whistles don’t sound like they used to. Lately not many trains go by.
D G D
Hard times across the land mean no work for a railroad man.
D A D
And the Greenville Trestle now don’t seem so high.
[Verse]
D D7 G D
On the riverbank I’d stand with a canepole in my hand
D A
and watch the freight trains up against the sky.
D D7 G D
With the black smoke trailin’ back as they moved along the tracks,
D A D
that runs across that Greenville Trestle high
[Chorus]
G D D A
But the whistles don’t sound like they used to. Lately not many trains go by.
D G D
Hard times across the land mean no work for a railroad man.
D A D
And the Greenville Trestle now don’t seem so high.
[Verse]
D D7 G D
When the lonesome whistles whine I get rambling on my mind
D A
and I wish they still sounded that way.
D D7 G D
As I turn and head for home, Lord she’d rumble, low, and moan
D A D
toward the sunset at the close of day.
[Chorus]
G D D A
But the whistles don’t sound like they used to. Lately not many trains go by.
D G D
Hard times across the land mean no work for a railroad man.
D A D
And the Greenville Trestle now don’t seem so high.
