Do you hear that whistle down the line 
Cdim  A        D9      A     Cdim     A E7 A 
 I   figure that it's engine number fortynine 
E7        A    D9  A   D9      F#7       Cdim 
She's the only    one that'll sound that way 
        A       A9    D9  Cdim      E7      A 
On the Atchison, Topeka    and the Santa Fe All aboard, she's on her way 
E7      A    D9   A     D9   A    E7   A 
See the old smoke risin'    round the bend 
Cdim  A     D9       A         Cdim    A   E7  A 
 I  reckon that she knows she's gonna meet a friend 
E7         A  D9    A     D9      F#7     Cdim 
Folks around these parts kept the time of day

Back in Ohio     where I come from 
Cdim  A     D9       A     Cdim        A    E7   A 
I've done a lot of dreamin' and I've travell'd   some 
E7     A D9   A     D9  F#7     Cdim 
But I never thought I'd see the day 
        A    A9     D9 Cdim     E7     A 
When I ever took a ride on the Santa Fe 
E7       A   D9 A   D9  A    E7   A 
I would lean across my window  sill 
Cdim  A       D9     A     Cdim  A    E7   A 
And hear the whistle echoin'  across the hill 
E7        A     D9   A    D9        F#7     Cdim 
Then I'd watch the lights till they fade away 
        A       A9    D9  Cdim      E7      A

What a thrill with the wheels asingin' "westward ho" 
D       Cdim   E7  Bm5-/7   D 
From the day I heard them start 
  D                   D7M    F#m           Bm 
'Cross the Kansas plains from New Mexico 
   D              Cdim            Bm5-/7    E7 
I guess I've got a little gypsy    in my heart 
E7        A   D9  A   D9   A    E7    A 
When I'm old and grey and settled    down 
Cdim  A     D9      A      Cdim    A   E7   A 
 If I ever get a chance to sneak away from town 
E7         A    D9  A    D9 F#7   Cdim 
Then I'll spend my busman's holiday 
        A       A9    D9  Cdim      E7      A
