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