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