[Verse 1]
E C#m F# B
I was headed for Tolono on the Wabash Cannonball
A E
Norfolk and Western, all the way
A E C#m
St Louis down the line, Detroit somewhere behind
F# B
I thought I heard that old conductor say...
[Chorus]
E A F#
No round trip ticket, you're on the final run
B E
This Cannonball is never coming back
C#m F# B
Tomorrow she'll just be another memory
A E
And an echo down a rusty railroad track
E C#m F# B A A E E
[Verse 2]
E C#m F# B
I got off at Tolono, just below Champaign
A E
A flag stop on the edge of yesterday
A E C#m
The whistle blew a song, I whispered, "So long"
F# B
Waved my hand and slowly walked away
[Chorus]
E A F#
No round trip ticket, you're on the final run
B E
This Cannonball is never coming back
C#m F# B
Tomorrow she'll just be another memory
A E
And an echo down a rusty railroad track
E C#m F# B A A E E
[Verse 3]
E C#m F# B
I think about tomorrow and wonder why it is
A E
We give up all the things we love the most
A E C#m
Goodbye, you old hog, I'll have to ride the dog
F# B
Til they build a subway coast to coast
