Doc Watson – Greenville Trestle High chords
Chords:
Greenville Trestle HighD D7 G DI remember as a boy how in wonderment and joy,D AIÂ’d watch the trains as they roll byD D7 G DAnd the whistleÂ’s lonesome sound you could hear for miles around,D A DAs they rolled across that Greenville Trestle high.(Chorus)G D D ABut the whistles donÂ’t sound like they used to. Lately not many trains go by.D G DHard times across the land mean no work for a railroad man.D A DAnd the Greenville Trestle now donÂ’t seem so high.D D7 G DOn the riverbank IÂ’d stand with a canepole in my handD A and watch the freight trains up against the sky.D D7 G D With the black smoke trailinÂ’ back as they moved along the tracks,D A D that runs across that Greenville Trestle high(Chorus)D D7 G DWhen the lonesome whistles whine I get rambling on my mindD A and I wish they still sounded that way.D D7 G D As I turn and head for home, Lord sheÂ’d rumble, low , and moanD A D toward the sunset at the break of day.(Chorus)
