A                  C#5               B5                          E
Sittin' nearby the long steel rails, waitin' for a train to come
A                      C#5   B5                      E
Yonder sleeps a little town, faidin' with the settin sun
A                     C#5           B5                  E
Sittin' here watchin' evenin' fall, singin' alone some tune
            A                    C#5               B5                  E
And if the train don't come 'til midnight, I guess I'll sing it to the moon

[Chorus]
A        E      D        E          A
Too many miles, too many miles from home
A        E      D        E      A
Too many miles, too many miles alone

[Verse]
A                       C#5                   B5                E
Well I tried to hitch a ride all day, but the cars kept passin' by
A                      C#5               B5              E
I don't know where I'm goin' babe, but I know the reason why
A                      C#5           B5               E
I'm tryin' to find one certain town, just one special place
      A              C#5            B5                      E
Where waiting with a special smile, their'll be one special face

[Chorus]
A        E      D        E          A
Too many miles, too many miles from home
A        E      D        E      A
Too many miles, too many miles alone



[Verse]
A                         C#5             B5             E
I've been thinkin' as I'm waitin', as the hours come and go
        A                 C#5                          B5               E
There's many a night I've spent like this, and there's many a more I'll know
        A           C#5           B5                    E
And the funny thing about it all, though I ain't got no home
            A                  C#5                  B5            E
I know that each man finds his resting place, where he ain't all alone

[Chorus]
A        E      D        E          A
Too many miles, too many miles from home
A        E      D        E      A
Too many miles, too many miles alone
