  G                  Bm
Sittin' here by the long steel rails

  Am                    D
Waitin' for a train to come

  G               Bm
Yonder sleeps a little town

 Am                      D
Fadin' with the settin' sun

  G                     Bm   
Sittin' here wathcing evening fall

  Am                D
Singin' a lonesome tune

             G                      Bm
And if the train don't come 'til midnight

              Am             D
I guess I'll sing it to the moon


 G        Bm
Too many miles

 C         D         G
Too many miles from home

 G        Bm
Too many miles

 C         G     G
Too many miles alone


         G               Bm
Well I tried to hitch a ride all day

         Am                 D
But the cars kept a passin' by

    G                    Bm
I don't know where I'm going Babe

       Am              D
But I know the reason why

      G                  Bm
I'm trying to find one certain town

 Am                D
Just one special place

         G             Bm
Where waiting with a special smile

         Am              D
There'll be one special face


 G        Bm
Too many miles

 C         D         G
Too many miles from home

 G        Bm
Too many miles

 C         G     G
Too many miles alone


             G              Bm
I've been thinkin' as I'm waitin'

        Am            D
As the hours come and go

         G                 Bm
There's many a night I've spent like this

             Am             D
And there's many more I'll know

          G          Bm
And the funny thing about it all

          Am           D
Though I ain't got no home

             G                  Bm
I know that each man find his restin' place

      Am             D
Where he ain't all alone


 G        Bm
Too many miles

 C         D         G
Too many miles from home

 G        Bm
Too many miles

 C         G     G
Too many miles alone
