  			          G                  
 I don't want no aggravation 
         G                          
 When my train has left the station 
           C                            G    
 If you're there or not, I may not even know 
                       B7  
 Have a round and remember 
            C                  G      
 Things we did that weren't so tender 
                        D7                 G 
 Let the train blow the whistle when I go   
 
 On my guitar sell tickets 
 So someone can finally pick it 
 And tell the girls down at the Ritz 
 I said hello 
 Tell the gossipers and liars 
 I will see them in the fire 
 Let the train blow the whistle when I go 
 
|         C             G   
|Let her blow, let her blow 
|         G                       
|Long and loud and hard and happy 
|         D7  
|Let her blow 
|        G          B7              C  
|No regrets, all my debts will be paid 
|            G   
|When I get laid 
|                       D7            G   
|Let her blow, let her blow, let her blow 
 
 You'll be left without excuses 
 For the evils and abuses 
 Down to today from years and years ago 
 And have yourself another toke 
 From my basket full of smoke 
 And let the train blow the whistle when I go 
 
 {chorus}
