F#          B          F# 
  I talk to you on the telephone 
C#          B           F# 
   At least two times a day 
D#m               B 
  From hotels and truck stops 
          F#                 C# 
When I've been too long gone away 
F#           B         F# 
   And I can see Cincinnati 
C#            B     F# 
  From the Kentucky side 
D#m                      B 
   Though I can't walk between them 
     F#                C# 
When I look out on the night 


        F#   C#    D#m          C# 
I see a slow train crossing the bridge 
B         C#  F# 
Over the Ohio River 
    F#            C#         D#m             C# 
She bends and she winds and she's taking her time 
B                C# 
  But nobody can stop her 
     D#m                    C#            B 
From headlights through all ninety two boxcars 
             C# 
She will not rest 
    F# C#     D#m          C# 
And so too, I move towards you 
   B      C#  F# 
My love, Elizabeth

F#           B       F# 
  You know I must be traveling 
C#          B            F# 
   You know that's who I am 
D#m                       B 
     You knew it when you met me 
        F#              C# 
And you knew it when we wed 
F#     B           F# 
I'd do anything to ease your mind 
C#     B              F# 
  You say, "Babe just hold on" 
D#m                  B 
  Let's try a little patience 
      F#                     C# 
This longing's gonna make us strong" 

 
              F#   C#    D#m          C# 
And there's a slow train crossing the bridge 
B        C#   F# 
Over the Ohio River 
                  C#         D#m             C# 
She bends and she winds and she's taking her time 
B              C# 
But nobody can stop her 
     D#m                  C#             B 
From midnight through all hours till the morning 
          C# 
She won't rest 
    F# C#     D#m          C# 
And so too, I move towards you 
   B       C#  F# 
My love, Elizabeth
