[F#] [F#m]
As I listen for the whistle, I lie awake and wait, wish the railroad didn't run so near
Cause [C#m] the rattle and the [C#] clatter of that [F#m] old fast freight keeps a-making music in my ear
go bum again
Oooo
the whistle [E] blow
Hear [F#] the whistle blow
Clickety clack, clickety clack, the wheels are signed to the railroad track

[F#] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ As I listen for the whistle, I lie awake and wait, wish the railroad didn't run so near
_ Cause [C#m] the rattle and the [C#] clatter of that [F#m] old fast freight keeps a-making music in my ear
Go bum again, _ _ go _ _ bum again
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Oooo
Hear the whistle [E] _ blow _ _ _ _
Hear _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] the whistle blow _ _ _ _
_ _ Clickety clack, clickety clack, the wheels are signed to the railroad track
Well, if you go, you can't come back
_ _ Well, if you go, you can't come back
_ _ Well if you go you can't come back, if you go you can't come back, if [F#m] you go _ _ _ _ you can't come [F#] back. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Well I [F#m] wouldn't give a nickel for the bum I used to be, _ work as hard as any man in town. _
_ I got a pretty gal, she thinks the world of me, man I'd [C#] be a fool [F#m] to let her down.
Go bum again, _ _ _ _ _ go bum _ again.
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ Ooooo, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ooooo, _ _ _ hear _ _ _ _ _ the whistle [E] blow, _ _ _ _ _ _ hear _ _ _ _ the [F#] whistle blow. _ _ _ _ _
Clackity clack clackity clack the wheel's a sane to the railroad track.
Well if you go you can't come back, _ _ well if you go you can't come back, _ _ _ well if you go you can't come back,
if you go you can't come back, [F#m] if you go _ you _ _ can't come [F#] _ _ _ back. _ _
_ _ _ So [F#m] every night I listen, _ _ wonder if it's late.
In my dreams I'm riding on that train _
I feel my pulse a-beatin' With that old fast freight
_ Thank the [C#] Lord I'm just [F#m] a-bum again
Go bum again, _ _ go _ _ bum again
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Ooooooo _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Hear the whistle [E] blow. _ _ _ _ _ _
Hear _ _ _ _ the [F#] whistle blow. _ _ _ _ _
Clickety-clack, clickety-clack, the wheels are safe with a railroad track.
Well, if you go, you can't come back. _
_ Well, if you go, you can't come back.
_ _ _ Well, if you go, [F#m] you can't come [F#] back.
If you go, you can't come back.
If you [F#m]
go, _ _ _ _ you can't [F#] come back. _ _ _ _ _
