500 Miles

E                  C#m           F#m             A  
If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone  
        F#m               A              B  
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles,  
          E                C#m  
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,  
          F#m               A  
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,  
        F#m               A              E 
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles  


      E           C#m          F#m          A  
Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name  
        F#m               A                B  
And the land that I once loved was not my own  
         E             C#m            F#m              A  
Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four,  
         F#m           A               E  
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home  


          E               C#m  
A hundred tanks along the square,  
        F#m                    A  
One man stands and stops them there  
         F#m                  A                 B  
Some day soon, the tide will turn, and I'll be free  
        E             C#m              F#m         A  
I'll be free, I'll be free, I'll come home to my country,  
         F#m                 A                E 
Some day soon the tide will turn and I'll be free  


       E                  C#m           F#m             A  
If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles,  
          E                C#m  
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,  
          F#m               A  
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,  
        F#m               A              E
