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