C   D   G X2

[Chorus]
    C          D               G
Engineer reach up and pull the whistle
       C         D        G
Let me hear that lonesome sound
       C               D              G
For it blends with the feeling that's in me
          C         D         G
The one I loved has turned me down

[Verse 1]
          C     D    G
I'm gonna catch me a freight train
         C            D        G
Lord I'm leaving this lonesome town
          C         D       G
The one I loved and gave my heart to
           C        D        G
That's the one has turned me down

[Chorus]
    C          D               G
Engineer reach up and pull the whistle
       C         D        G
Let me hear that lonesome sound
       C               D              G
For it blends with the feeling that's in me
          C         D         G
The one I loved has turned me down

[Instrumental]
C   D   G X2

[Verse 2]
        C       D                G
There's sixteen cars behind each engine
              C               D          G
I'll ride the last one to the end of the line
             C         D                    G
I don't know where I'm going  or where I'll wind up
         C               D       G
Just anything to ease my worried mind

[Chorus]
    C          D               G
Engineer reach up and pull the whistle
       C         D        G
Let me hear that lonesome sound
       C               D              G
For it blends with the feeling that's in me
          C         D         G
The one I loved has turned me down
