(I Heard that)Lonesome Whistle Blow
Bob Dylan
Capo 2
C                             F          C
I was riding number 9, heading south from Carolina.
                G               C
I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.
C                             F             C
Got in trouble, had to roam, left my girl, left my home.
                G               C
I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.
       F
Just a kid, acting smart,
           C
I went and broke my baby's heart.
              D            G
I guess I was too young to know.
             C
They took me off that Georgia Main
              F             C
and locked me to a ball and chain.
                G               C
I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.
C   F   C   G   C
                 (x2)
C                              F               C
All I do is sit and cry as the evening train goes by.         
                  G               C
I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.
  F                                  C
I'll be locked here in this cell, till my body's just a shell          
           D                 G
and my head turns whiter than snow.
       C
I'll never see that girl of mine
       F                  C
'cos I'm in Georgia doing time.
                 G               C
I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.  
  F                                  C
I'll be locked here in this cell, till my body's just a shell          
           D                 G
and my head turns whiter than snow.
       C
I'll never see that girl of mine
       F                  C
'cos I'm in Georgia doing time.
                 G               C
I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.
