Do you hear that whis - tle down the line?

Folks a - round these parts kept the time of day
A A9 D9 Cdim E7 A
From the Atch - i - son, To - pe - ka and the San - ta Fe.

She's got a list of pas - sen - gers that's might - y big.
E7 A D9 A D9 A E7 A
And they'll all want lifts to Brown's Ho - tel,
Cdim A D9 A Cdim A E7 A
'Cause lots of them been trav - el - in' for quite a spell,

All the way from Phil - a - delph - eye - aye

On the Atch - i - son, To - pe - ka and the San - ta Fe.

But I nev - er thought I'd see the day
A A9 D9 Cdim E7 A
When I ev - er took a ride on the San - ta Fe.
E7 A D9 A D9 A E7 A
I would lean a - cross my win - dow sill
Cdim A D9 A Cdim A E7 A
And hear the whis - tle ech - o - in' a - cross the hill,
E7 A D9 A D9 F#7 Cdim
Then I'd watch the lights till they fade a - way
A A9 D9 Cdim E7 A
On the Atch - i - son, To - pe - ka and the San - ta Fe.

A7 D DM7 F#m Bm
What a thrill with the wheels a - singin' "west - ward ho!"
D Cdim E7 Bm7-5 D
From the day I heard them start,
D DM7 F#m Bm
'Cross the Kan - sas plains from New Mex - i - co --
D Cdim Bm7-5 E7
I guess I've got a lit - tle gyp - sy in my heart.
E7 A D9 A D9 A E7 A
When I'm old and grey and set - tled down,
Cdim A D9 A Cdim A E7 A
If I ev - er get a chance to sneak a - way from town,
E7 A D9 A D9 F#7 Cdim
Then I'll spend my bus - man's hol - i - day
A A9 D9 Cdim E7 A
On the Atch - i - son, To - pe - ka and the San - ta Fe.
