Greenville Trestle High D (xx0232@1) D7 (xx0212@1) G (320003@1) DI (xx0232@1)remember as a boy how in wonderment and joy, D (xx0232@1) AI'd (x02220@1)watch the trains as they roll by D (xx0232@1) D7 (xx0212@1) G (320003@1) DAnd (xx0232@1)the whistle's lonesome sound you could hear for miles around, D (xx0232@1) A (x02220@1) DAs (xx0232@1)they rolled across that Greenville Trestle high. (Chorus) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) D (xx0232@1) ABut (x02220@1)the whistles don't sound like they used to. Lately not many trains go by. D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) DHard (xx0232@1)times across the land mean no work for a railroad man. D (xx0232@1) A (x02220@1) DAnd (xx0232@1)the Greenville Trestle now don't seem so high. D (xx0232@1) D7 (xx0212@1) G (320003@1) DOn (xx0232@1)the riverbank I'd stand with a canepole in my hand D (xx0232@1) A (x02220@1)and watch the freight trains up against the sky. D (xx0232@1) D7 (xx0212@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) With the black smoke trailin' back as they moved along the tracks, D (xx0232@1) A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1)that runs across that Greenville Trestle high (Chorus) D (xx0232@1) D7 (xx0212@1) G (320003@1) DWhen (xx0232@1)the lonesome whistles whine I get rambling on my mind D (xx0232@1) A (x02220@1) and I wish they still sounded that way. D (xx0232@1) D7 (xx0212@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) As I turn and head for home, Lord she'd rumble, low , and moan D (xx0232@1) A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1)toward the sunset at the break of day. (Chorus)
