Didn't see any chords for this classic bluegrass tune.  This is great for playing rhythm 
if you have some folks playing banjo and fiddle.  I'm sure the spacing will get messed 
but just play every chord for one measure as they are listed...and the timing will be fine.
INTRO:
 E…….…B7……E  
Whoo-hoo whoohoo  hoo
VERSE:
….E……..E7……. A…… E  
The longest train I ever saw
 …….E…….…..B7…… E  
Went down that Georgia line
 …..E……E7…….. A……E  
The engine passed at six o' clock
 ………E………..B7….. E  
And the cab passed by at nine.
CHORUS:
E…………….E7  
In the pines, in the pines
………… A…………E  
Where the sun never shines
 ………E………………B7………E  
And we shiver when the cold wind blows
E……E7….A….E  
Whoo hoo  hoo  hoo
E…… B7……. E  
Whoo hoo hoo hoo
BREAK:   E    E7    A     E    E    B7  E  
VERSE:
..E……….E7……………A……..E  
I asked my captain for the time of day
..E………..B7……………….E  
He said he throwed his watch away
…E……….E7………A…………E  
A long steel rail and a short cross tie
…..E……..B7………E  
I'm on my way back home.
CHORUS:
E…………….E7  
In the pines, in the pines
………… A…………E  
Where the sun never shines
 ………E………………B7………E  
And we shiver when the cold wind blows
E……E7….A….E  
Whoo hoo  hoo  hoo
E…… B7……. E  
Whoo hoo hoo hoo
BREAK:   E    E7    A     E    E    B7  E  
VERSE:
…E…………E7…………A……….E  
Little girl, little girl, what have I done
…..E…………..B7……..E  
That makes you treat me so?
…..E……………E7………..A………….E  
You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn
……E…………..B7…….....E  
You caused me to leave my home.
CHORUS:
E…………….E7  
In the pines, in the pines
………… A…………E  
Where the sun never shines
 ………E………………B7………E  
And we shiver when the cold wind blows
E……E7….A….E  
Whoo hoo  hoo  hoo
E…… B7……. E  
Whoo hoo hoo hoo
