“Hear That Whistle Cry”
Kerosene Halo
Written by Phil Madeira and Derri Daugherty
[Verse]
G D
Said I wasn’t coming back
C D
Meant every word I said
G D
Sometimes life is a one-way track
C D
Put your dreams to bed
Em D/F#
Never thought I’d be missing you
G G/B C
But I keep asking why
G D C
I feel so lonely when I hear that whistle cry
[Verse]
G D
Amarillo was good to me
C D
Didn’t know that then
G D
Found a little place here in Tennessee
C D
I’ve got a lot of friends
Em D/F#
Sometimes at night when I’m trying to sleep
G G/B C
I hear a train go by
G D C
And I feel so lonely when I hear that whistle cry
[Bridge]
Bb Am G
Going west was the last thing on my mind
Bb Am D
More or less I left it all behind . . . till that whistle
G D C D
whines
G D C D
Em D/F#
Just when old memories start to find
G G/B C
Another train rolls by
G D C
I still get lonely when I hear that whistle cry
G D C
I still get lonely when I hear that whistle cry
[Solo]
G D C D (repeat)
