Verse 1

From the

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fourth] shore,

To the

[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fifth] green old flow'ring mountains, to the ice-bound Labra-

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] dor

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] She's long and tall and handsome and known quite well to

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fourth] all.

She's the

[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fifth] modern combination called the Wabash Cannon-

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] ball

Chorus

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] So listen to the jingle, the jumble and the

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fourth] roar

as she

[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fifth] glides along the woodlands, through the hills and by the

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] shore.

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] Hear the mighty rush of the engine, and the lonesome hoboes

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fourth] squall,

While

[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fifth] riding through the jungle on the Wabash Cannon-

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] ball

Verse 2

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] She came in from Birmingham on a cold and frosty

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fourth] day.

As she

[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fifth] rolled into the station, you could hear the people

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] say,

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] "There’s a gal out there from Tennessee, she’s long, boy, and

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fourth] tall.

She's the

[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fifth] modern combination called the Wabash Cannon-

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] ball."

Repeat Chorus
Verse 3

Now the

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] Eastern states are dandy, so the all the people

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fourth] say,

From

[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fifth] New York to Saint Louis and Chicago by the

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] way,

From the

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] lakes of Minnehaha where the laughing waters

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fourth] fall,

No

[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fifth] change in standard gauging on the Wabash Cannon-

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] ball

Repeat Chorus
