Whistle Ain’t Made Of Gold Chords

Key Bb capo 3
 
[Intro]
G    G    G    G
 
[Chorus]
        G
Well my train don't run on silver rails
                         D
My whistle ain't made of gold
    D
I'm always runnin' on an uphill grade
                G
Pullin' a heavy load
      G
And I know it's gonna be that way
                  C
Till I'm gray and old
                           G
Well my train don't run on silver rails
       D                     G     G
And my whistle ain't made of gold
 
[Verse]
     G
Well this old train ain't never on time
                     D
Trouble stays on the line
 
A twisted rail or a broken wheel
                        G
Or else the light won't shine
         G
And that old steam pressure is always low
                       D
I gotta keep shovelin' coal
         D
Cause my train don't run on silver rails
                             G     G
And my whistle ain't made of gold
 
[Chorus]
        G
Well my train don't run on silver rails
                         D
My whistle ain't made of gold
    D
I'm always runnin' on an uphill grade
                G
Pullin' a heavy load
      G
And I know it's gonna be that way
                  C
Till I'm gray and old
                           G
Well my train don't run on silver rails
       D                     G     G   G   G
And my whistle ain't made of gold
 
[Verse]
    G
But I’ll keep doing the best I can
                         D
To give this old train a ride
    D
And I’m gonna face all our troubles
             G
Every day in stride
              G
Cause there’s better days that lay ahead
                         D
At least that’s what I’m told
        D
When my train will roll on silver rails
                       G    G
And my whistle will be gold
 
[Chorus]
        G
Yeah my train will roll on silver rails
                       D
And my whistle will be gold
D
All of my runs will be down hill
                         G
And I won’t be pulling a load
          G
And there won’t be trouble on the line
                         C
And I won’t be shoveling coal
                           G
Cause my train will run on silver rails
       D               G    G
And my whistle will be gold
 
[Chorus]
        G
Yeah my train will roll on silver rails
                       D
And my whistle will be gold
D
All of my runs will be down hill
                         G
And I won’t be pulling a load
          G
And there won’t be trouble on the line
                         C
And I won’t be shoveling coal
                           G
Cause my train will run on silver rails
       D               G    G   G   G   G   G
And my whistle will be gold        (fades out)
