500 Miles Chords

Capo 3rd fret

       G                  Em
If you miss the train I'm on,
         Am             C
you will know that I am gone
        Am               C
You can hear the whistle blow 
          D
a hundred miles,
          G                Em
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
          Am               C
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
        Am               C
You can hear the whistle blow 
          G
a hundred miles
 
      G           Em
Not a shirt on my back, 
      Am          C
not a penny to my name
        Am               C
And the land that I once loved 
           D
was not my own
         G             Em
Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, 
         Am              C
Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four,
         Am           C
Lord I'm five hundred miles 
          D
away from home
 
          G               Em
A hundred tanks along the square,
        Am                    C
One man stands and stops them there
         Am                  C
Some day soon, the tide will turn, 
            D
and I'll be free
        G             Em
I'll be free, I'll be free, 
          Am         C
I'll come home to my country,
         Am                 C
Some day soon the tide will turn 
            D
and I'll be free
 
       G                  Em
If you miss the train I'm on,
         Am             C
you will know that I am gone
        Am               C
You can hear the whistle blow 
          D
a hundred miles,
         G             Em
Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, 
         Am              C
Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four,
         Am           C
Lord I'm five hundred miles 
          D
away from home
