Verse 1

|G----------------|G---------------------

The stationmaster looked all around

|C--------------|C----------|G-----|G----

Along the track both up and down

|G------------|G----------------

But the train could not be found

|C-----------|C----------------|G----|G---

For there was neither sight or sound

|Am-------------|AM--------|G-----|G-----

There was neither sight or sound

Verse 2

He walked on slowly to the station door

like so many times before

He looked outside into a sunshine beam

Closed his eyes and dreamed a dream

Drifted off into a dream

Chorus

|Am-------------|Am--------------

The winds of change forever blow

|Em-------------|Em-------------

Some things stay and some things go

|Am-------------|Am----------------

The falling rain must melt the snow

|Em------------|Am------|C----------

The orangedale whistle

------------|G----------|G-----|G---

will always blow

Verse 3 & 4

Years ago throughout this land

That line was laid by able men

But things are changed as time goes by

People drive and people fly

People drive and people fly

The stationmaster is long since gone

He faded off into the sun

But the whistle shrill still lingers on

In the hearts of everyone

Everyday from dusk till dawn

Repeat Chorus
