Capo 1

D A

One day after twenty five years

Bm G

Head of service at the local Sears

D A G

Helen Walker put her pencil down and walked away

D A

And all they found was a little note

Bm G

“adios” was all she wrote

D A D

But as she left someone heard her say

Chorus:

G D Bm

Gonna buy me a ticket to the end of the line

G E7 A

Wanna feel the air and breathe the countryside

D A

Long as those wheels keep-a-rollin

Bm G D A D

I’ll be satisfied, gonna ride, ride, ride.

Saturday night I was down at Joe’s

He was moppin up getting ready to close

He sat down and poured me one last brew

And he said to me with a sideways glance

If I ever get the chance

I’m gonna sell this joint and this is what I’ll do

Chorus

I suppose I could stay

In this little town til my dying day

But in my heart I know I gotta go

So I’m standing at the station waitin for the train

Don’t know when I’ll be back again

Mr. Engineer won’t you let your whistle blow
