Lyrics, Chords & Album Info:
Kansas City Southern
written by Gene Clark
E
When I was a young boy evening sun went down
Stand off by the railroad tracks and I’d listen for the sound
A E
Of that Kansas City Southern man that’a a lonesome sound
B
Well I’d sit and watch those trains go by
A * E
And wish that I was outward bound
E
Well I’d dream about big cities
And the pleasures I would keep
Long about twelve-thirty thru the phases of my sleep
A E
I’d hear that Kansas City Southern, man that’a a lonesome sound
B
Well I’d sit and watch those trains go by
A * E
And wish that I was outward bound
E
Well now I’ve been in a couple of places
Seen a couple of things
Whenever I think back in time
My memory forth rings
A E
With that Kansas City Southern, man that’a a lonesome sound
B
Well I’d sit and watch those trains go by
A * E
And wish that I was homeward bound
C#m
Don’t you know how the whistles blows
C#m
Don’t you know how the whistles blows
C#m
Don’t you know know know how the whistle blows
