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