Tabbed by Tim Lyons
Capo on 4th fret. Throw in some nice ol country hammer ons and bass note walks to
spice things up.
I never did have that fast train to take me down the line
Or smelled the smoke from a hot coal as the engine fired
---( walk down)--->
If I could ask that engineer for one more mile and then Iâll go
Just let the whistle wail and take it in slow
Take me back to the railroad track and the sounds inside my mind
Where rusty wheels and steel rails still whine
---( walk down)--->
Where I can hop that 909 and go back in time some time ago
Just let the whistle wail and take it in slow
Park my horse and buggie by some old lazy creek
Take my car to the graveyard and dig a hole real deep
---( walk down)--->
Weâll holler ârest in peaceâ and weep, lay track on every street
Let the whistle wail and give the rail my soul to keep
---( walk down)--->
Mr. engineer just one more mile and then Iâll go
Just let the whistle wail and take it in slow
Let the whistle wail and take it in slow
