[ Kansas City Southern von Gene Clark ]


 

E
When I was a young boy evening sun went down
		E
Stand off by the railroad tracks and I'd listen for the sound
        A                                          E
Of that Kansas City Southern man that's 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
	E
And the pleasures I would keep
			E
Long about twelve-thirty thru phase of my sleep
              A                                          E
I'd hear that Kansas City Southern man that's 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
	E
Seen a couple of things
	E
Whenever I think back in time
	E
My memory  rings
          A                                          E
With that Kansas City Southern man that's 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
