(I Heard that)Lonesome Whistle Blow
Bob Dylan
Capo 2
G# C# G#
I was riding number 9, heading south from Carolina.
D# G#
I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.
G# C# G#
Got in trouble, had to roam, left my girl, left my home.
D# G#
I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.
C#
Just a kid, acting smart,
G#
I went and broke my baby's heart.
A# D#
I guess I was too young to know.
G#
They took me off that Georgia Main
C# G#
and locked me to a ball and chain.
D# G#
I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.
G# C# G# D# G# (x2)
G# C# G#
All I do is sit and cry as the evening train goes by.
D# G#
I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.
C# G#
I'll be locked here in this cell, till my body's just a shell
A# D#
and my head turns whiter than snow.
G#
I'll never see that girl of mine
C# G#
'cos I'm in Georgia doing time.
D# G#
I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.
C# G#
I'll be locked here in this cell, till my body's just a shell
A# D#
and my head turns whiter than snow.
G#
I'll never see that girl of mine
C# G#
'cos I'm in Georgia doing time.
