Verse
Bm D F#m
I turn my collar from the wind as I button up my coat
E
Trying to keep out the cold
Bm D F#m
It’s been a long time coming, been so long since I’ve
E
Been home
Bm D F#m
Oh and baby as I gather all my things, your picture
E
Falls to the floor
Bm D
And how it hurts so much to see that face of yours
F#m E
Staring at me like I’m a ghost
[Chorus]
D Bm
Cause’ it’s a long cold road I’m walking on
A Bm
It’s a long cold straight steel rail
D Bm
I can hear the whistle of that train
A Bm
That’s coming to take me anywhere
[Verse]
Bm D
Lonely bird sitting up in that tree
F#m E
Won’t you sing me a sweet melody?
Bm D
Oh and maybe I’ll give you a little company
F#m E
If you’d share some advice with me
[Chorus]
D Bm
Cause’ it’s a long cold road I’m walking on
A Bm
It’s a long cold straight steel rail
D Bm
I can hear the whistle of that train
A Bm
That’s coming to take me anywhere
[Verse]
Bm D F#m
I’ll keep my head up high, I’ll keep my strength by my side
E
I’ll bury all of my pain
Bm D F#m
And I’ll just sit here and wait for that train to come
E
Take me away
[Chorus]
D Bm
Cause’ it’s a long cold road I’m walking on
A Bm
It’s a long cold straight steel rail
D Bm
I can hear the whistle of that train
A Bm
That’s coming to take me anywhere
D Bm
Cause’ it’s a long cold road I’m walking on
A Bm
It’s a long cold straight steel rail
D Bm
I can hear the whistle of that train
A Bm
That’s coming to take me anywhere
