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