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

Cause’ it’s a long cold road I’m walking on

It’s a long cold straight steel rail

I can hear the whistle of that train

That’s coming to take me anywhere

I’ll keep my head up high, I’ll keep my strength by my side

I’ll bury all of my pain

And I’ll just sit here and wait for that train to come

Take me away
[Chorus]
G# Fm
Cause’ it’s a long cold road I’m walking on
D# Fm
It’s a long cold straight steel rail

I can hear the whistle of that train
