C Em Am G

[Verse 1]
        C                  Am
If you miss this train I'm on
            Dm             F
Then you'll know that I am gone
            Dm               G
Then you'll hear the whistle blow
          C    
A hundred miles
                          Am
A hundred miles a hundred miles
Dm             F
Listen darlin' now
           Dm               G

Lord I'm one Lord I'm two
         Dm              F
Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four
         Dm           G
Well I'm five hundred miles 
        C
from my home
                                 Am
Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
  Dm                   F
It's such a long  long way
      Dm               G
And I feel like I will never
         C    Em Am G C
reach my home

[Verse 3]
                  Am
Not a shirt on my back
      Dm          F
Not a penny to my name
Dm              G
Lord I can't go back home, well
       C
This a-way
                     Am
This a-way, oh this a-way
Dm             F   
No, no darlin' no
Dm              G
Lord I can't go back home, well
       C
this a-way

[Verse 4]
                               Am
Cos if you miss this train I'm on
            Dm             F
Then you'll know that I am gone
            Dm               G
And you can hear the whistle blow
          C
A hundred miles
                           Am
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
Dm             F
Listen darlin' now
           Dm               G              C
Oh you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

[Outro]
           Dm               G                      C
Oh you can hear the whistle blow    well a hundred miles
