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