If you miss the train I'm on,

You can hear the whistle blow

A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
Am C
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
Am C

Lord I'm five hundred miles

A hundred tanks along the square,

One man stands and stops them there

Some day soon, the tide will turn,
D

I'll be free, I'll be free,
Am C
I'll come home to my country,
Am C
Some day soon the tide will turn
D
and I'll be free

If you miss the train I'm on,
Am C
you will know that I am gone

I don't think the D is always right. At the end of every Verse I would use a G instead. Maybe even all the times

As Tim tried to say it's not D but Em at the end of every verse.
The G and Em are also exactly reversed everywhere.
So instead of G-Em-Am-C it's actually Em-G-Am-C.

Would love to see the Rosanne Cash version. That's the best and the chords do alternate at the end of verses.
