Hank Williams - I Heard That Lonesome Whistle D = xx0232 A = x02220 D7 = xx0212 G = 320003 *********************************************************************** D AD INTRO D7 G D I was ridin' No. 9, headin' South from Caroline, A D I heard that lonesome whistle blow. D7 G D I didn't trouble, had to roam, left my girl and left my home. A D I heard that lonesome whistle blow. G Just a kid acting smart, D I went and broke my darlin's heart. A I guess I was too young to know. D D7 They took me off the Georgia main, G D Locked me to a ball and chain. A D D I heard that lonesome whistle blow. D7 G D All alone I bear this shame, I'm a number not a name, A D I heard that lonesome whistle blow. D7 G D All I do is sit and cry when the evenin' train goes by, A D I heard that lonesome whistle blow. G I'll be locked here in this cell, D 'Til my body's just a shell A And my hair turns whiter than snow. D D7 I'll never see that gal of mine, G D Lord, I'm in Georgia doin' time. A D I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
