[Verse]
           D                                        G
From the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific shore
      A                                                      D
She climbs the flowery mountains over the hills and by the shores
       D                                                 G
She's mighty tall and handsome she's known quite well by all
         A                                       D
She's a regular combination on the Wabash Cannonball


[Chorus]
 D                                       G
Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar
       A                                                    D
As she glides along the woodlands over the hills and by the shores
     D                                                    G
The mighty rush of the engine hears those lonesome hobos call
  A                                              D
Travelin through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball

[Verse]
      E                                               A
Now she came down from Birmingham one cold September day
        B                                                     E
As she pulled into the station you could hear all the people say
                 E                        A
She's from Tenessee she's long and she's tall
  B                                                E
She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball


[Chorus]
 E                                       A
Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar
         B                                                    E
As she glides along the woodlands over the hills and by the shores
     E                                                     A
The mighty rush of the engine hears those lonesome hobos call
  B                                              E
Travelin through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball

Heres to Daddy Claxton may his name forever stand
    B                                                  E
And always be remembered in the courts throughout the land
    E                                                A
His earthly race is over and the curtains round him fall
         B                                           E
They'll carry him home to Dixie on the Wabash Cannonball


[Chorus]
 E                                       A
Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar
         B                                                    E
As she glides along the woodlands over the hills and by the shores
     E                                                     A
The mighty rush of the engine hears those lonesome hobos call
  B                                              E
Travelin through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball
