The Seekers play the song in the key of G Major. The last piece of sheet music in D Major has the banjo intro included.

The Seekers Play This Song in the key of G just like this version.
[G]Train whistle blowin',
[C]Makes a sleepy [G]noise;
[C]Underneath their [G]blankets
Go [Am]all the girls and [D]boys.

[G]Rockin', rollin', ridin',
[C]Out along the [G]bay,
[C]All bound for [G]Morningtown,
[D]Many miles a[G]way.

[G]Driver at the engine,
[C]Fireman rings the [G]bell,
[C]Sandman swings the [G]lantern
To [Am]show that all is [D]well.

[G]Maybe it is raining
[C]Where our train will [G]ride;
[C]All the little [G]travellers
Are [Am]warm and snug in[D]side.


[G]Somewhere there is sunshine,
[C]Somewhere there is [G]day,
[C]Somewhere there is [G]Morningtown,
[Am]Many miles a[D]way.

Note - The letter notes version is set in a different key than the tin whistle sheet music and is not suited for a D whistle.
