[Intro]
A E A

[Verse]
A
I was ridin' Number Nine

Headin' south from Caroline

I heard that lonesome whistle blow.

I got in trouble, I had to roam
D A
Left my gal and left my home

[Chorus]
A E A
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.

[Verse]
D
Just a kid actin' smart
A
I went and broke my darlin's heart
E
I guess I was too young to know.
A
They took me off the Georgia Main
D A
Locked me to a ball and chain

[Chorus]
E A
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

[Solo]
A E A

[Verse]
A
All alone I bear the shame
D A
I'm a number, not a name
E A F#m
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
A
All I do is sit and cry
D A
When that evening train goes by

[Chorus]
E A
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.

[Verse]
D
I'll be locked here in this cell
A
'Til my body's just a shell
E
And my hair turns whiter than snow
A
I'll never see that gal of mine
D A
I'm in Georgia doing time

[Outro]
E A Am A
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
