I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Blow Acordes

Capo 3
 
[Intro]
G D G
 
[Verse]
G
I was ridin' Number Nine,
C                       G
Headin' south from Caroline.
G                     D         G
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
G
Got in trouble, had to roam,
C                          G
Left my gal an' left my home.
G                   D           G
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
 
[Verse]
C
Just a kid, actin' smart,
                  G
I went and broke my darling's heart,
                             D
I guess I was too young to know.
G
They took me off the Georgia Main,
C                         G
Locked me to a ball and chain.
G                    D          G
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
 
[Instrumental]
G D G
 
[Verse]
G
All alone I bear the shame,
C                     G
I'm a number, not a name.
G                   D           G
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
G
All I do is sit an' cry
C                            G
When the evenin' train goes by.
G                  D            G
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
 
[Verse]
C
I'll be locked here in this cell
                   G
Till my body's just a shell
                                D
An' my hair turns whiter than snow.
G
I'll never see that gal of mine.
C                            G
Lord, I'm in Georgia doin' time.
G                   D            G
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
