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