C                A#
To all concerned dead or alive
Am               G#
The locomotive will arrive
C                   A#
Bringin' souls from all around
Am                   G#
They'll be bound for higher ground
C                        A#
Look out, stranger, it's comin' through
Am                      G#
With plenty of room for me and you

Chorus:
    C                  Am
And it's just another whistle stop
   Dm                      Am
If you don't quit till we reach the top
C       F                 A# C
I'd be much obliged to you

C         A A#
Odd man out
C                       A A#
You know that's the rule
C                               A A#
You can scream and you can shout
C                              A  A#  C
But they'll only call you a crazy fool
D#7             G#7
Pay no mind to what they say
D#7                        G#7       G7
When they're 'bitter they talk that way

I seen a young boy on the run
And I seen other children havin' fun
A police siren flashing light
I wonder who went down tonight
People, people, where do you go
Before you believe in what you know ?

Chorus:
It's just another whistle stop
If you don't quit till we reach the top
I'd be much obliged to you

When the trolley is clean out of reach
A certain lesson it will teach
To grind your ax until it's dull
You've got to get it in your skull
Tell the people all across the sea
Don't turn your back because it's free

Chorus:
It's just another whistle stop
If you don't quit till we reach the top
I'd, I'd be much obliged to you

A A#       C
  And it's odd man out
A A#    C
  You know that's the rule
A A# C
     You can scream and you can shout
A A# C                                 A#
     But they'll only call you a crazy fool
D#             G#7
Pay no mind to what you read
D#7                         G#7   G7
There's one way home that's guaranteed
