verse 1 

       C 
It's a long steel rail and a short cross tie 
    F              C 
I'm on my way back home 
    C       F          C            Am 
I'm on that train the king of them all 
     C           G     C 
That streamlined cannonball 


C 
She moves along like a cannonball 
       F                     C 
Like a star in it's heavenly flight 
    C        F            C           Am 
The lonesome sound of the whistle you love 
   C           G           C 
As she travels through the night

verse 2 

C 
I can see a smile on the engineer's face 
      F                   C 
And although he's old and gray 
C           F        C             Am  
A contented heart he waits for his call 
       C          G     C 
On the streamline cannonball 


C 
She moves along like a cannonball 
       F                     C 
Like a star in it's heavenly flight 
    C        F              C           Am 
The lonesome sound from the whistle you love 
   C           G           C 
As she travels through the night

verse 3 

C 
The headlight beams out in the night 
        F                     C 
And the firebox flash you can see 
C           F               C           Am 
I ride them blinds it's the life that I love 
          C          G       C 
Lord it's home sweet home to me 


C 
She moves along like a cannonball 
       F                     C 
Like a star in it's heavenly flight 
    C        F            C           Am 
The lonesome sound of the whistle you love 
   C           G           C 
As she travels through the night
