guitar chords lyrics
A5
It should be a while before I see Doctor Death,
A5
So it would sure be nice if I could get my breath
A5
Well, I'm not cryin' nor the whinin' kind
'Till I hear the whistle of the Three O Nine
D5 A5
Of the Three O Nine, of the Three O Nine
E5 A5
Put me in my box on the Three O Nine
Take me to the depot, put me to bed
E5 A5
Blow an electric fan on my gnarly old head
Ev'rybody take a look. See I'm doin' fine
E5 A5
Then load my box on the Three O Nine
D5 A5
On the Three O Nine, on the Three O Nine
E5 A5
Put me in my box on the Three O Nine
Guitar solo:
| A5 | A5 | A5 | A5 |
| A5 | E5 | E5 | E5 |

A5
Hey, sweet baby, kiss me hard
E5 A5
Draw my bath water, sweep my yard
Give a drink of my wine to my Jersey cow
E5 A5
I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for journey now
D5 A5
On the Three O Nine, on the Three O Nine
I hear the sound of a railroad train
E5 A5
The whistle blows, and I'm gone again
It will take me higher than a Georgia pine
E5 A5
Stand back, children, it's the Three O Nine
D5 A5
It's the Three O Nine, it's the Three O Nine
E5 A5
Put me in my box on the Three O Nine
A chicken in the pot, and a turkey in the corn;
E5 A5
Ain't felt this good since jubilee morn
Talk about luck, well, I got mine
E5 A5
Asthma comin' down like the Three O Nine
Write me a letter, sing me a song
E5 A5
Tell me all about it, what I did wrong
Meanwhile, I will be doin' fine
E5 A5
The load my box on the Three O Nine
D5 A5
On the Three O Nine, on the Three O Nine
E5 A5
Gonna get out of here on the Three O Nine
Outro:
||: A5 | A5 | A5 | A5 :|| Repeat and fade
