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)
