C
Travelin down this lonesome railroad
                      Am
Silver Ribbons in my hand
C
A million miles of cross ties
                            G
Marks a million miles I've been

G          F                G
Ive picked peaches down in Georgia,
F             G
Apples up in Maine
       F              C
Pulled cotton out in Texas
F           C        D
Ridin on a Train

D
I was just a lad of seventeen 
                    Bm
My daddy turned me loose
D
Silver Ribbons callin me
            A
Engine and caboose

G                 A
I cant recall my mother
G                    A
She left when I was two
G                       D
Brunettes, blondes and redheads
G                     D
Were the only love I knew

[Chorus]
G            A        D
Dont ask me where Im going
G            A         D
Dont ask me where Ive been
G             A                    D       G     
Those silver ribbons will take me there
G                        A   G
There......... and back again
G         A  G         A               E
One more time....back again......

E
Traveling to the tune of freight wheels
                 C#m
Is such a lonely sound
E
Here that lonesome whistle blow
                   B
And leave another town

  A                 B
I wish someone was waiting
    A                 B
Somewhere to welcome me
A                  E
Then those silver ribbons
      A                       E
Would see no more of me

[Chorus]
A            B        E
Dont ask me where Im going
A            B         E
Dont ask me where Ive been
A             B                    E       A     
Those silver ribbons will take me there
A                        B   A
There......... and back again
A         B  A         B               F#
One more time....back again......
