I have been playing a guitar for 6 years
and this is the first song i ever learned it is a hell of a song.

I also tried it with a capo and it sounds even better, but u use the same chords
-evh | 1/11/2004
Nice work
-tobyngarth | 2/27/2004
Outstanding!!!

Great song! Great job! But put a capo and
the first fret play it the same way and drop
the E to an E7 an the last word of the second line in each verse and its perfect.

E
I hear the train a comin its rollin round
the bend

and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't
E7
know when

-Casper_cowboy | 9/5/2005
A quick run on the low E string after the E7 into A chord completes the song.

E---0--2--4-----
-dmdude17 | 9/19/2005
Then going from A back to E, do this:
A E
A---------------2-(strum)---2---2----------
E--4-2-0(strum)-----------4---2---0-(strum)
B7
A--2-(strum)-----0-1--2
E------------0-4-------

Then when you go from B7 to E, do the same
notes of the run leading into the B7, only
backwards. here:
B7 E
A--2-1-0-------------
E--------4-0---------

I agree Ive always played this song with a capo on the 1st fret. To me sounds more like the recording.
-madtabber | 12/20/2005
Good tab.
-guitar355 | 12/28/2005
the last line of the second verse
"when i hear that whistle blowin, i hand my head and cry"
-btexan03 | 1/1/2006
last line of third verse
"but those people keep a movin, and thats what tortures me"
-btexan03 | 1/1/2006
I Agree with the capo on the first fret, i have it on video and thats how Johnny plays it
-Georgejones12 | 1/7/2006
last line of the second verse is:
and when i hear that whistle blowin', i hang my head and cry
-larivee123 | 10/8/2009
second line of the last verse is:
well i bet i'd move it on a little farther down the line
