The song is originally played on the guitar and the banjo. Here's how I play the
song on the guitar.
It sounds better with two guitars, so find a friend who plays the guitar as well.

If you [G]miss the train I'm [Em]on,
You will [Am]know that I am [C]gone,
You can [Am]hear the whistle [C]blow a hundred [G]miles.
A hundred [G]miles, a hundred [Em]miles,
A hundred [Am]miles, a hundred [C]miles,
You can [Am]hear the whistle [C]blow a hundred [G]miles.
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_journeymen/500_miles_crd.html )
Lord, I'm [G]one, Lord, I'm [Em]two,
Lord, I'm [Am]three, Lord, I'm [C]four,
Lord, I'm [Am]five hundred [C]miles a way from [G]home.
Away from [G]home, away from [Em]home,
Away from [Am]home, away from [C]home,
Lord, I'm [Am]five hundred [C]miles away from [G]home.

Not a [G]shirt on my [Em]back,
Not a [Am]penny to my [C]name.
Lord, I [Am]can't go back [C]home this-a [G]way.
This-A [G]way, this-A [Em]way,
This-A [Am]way, this-A [C]way,
Lord, I [Am]can't go back [C]home this-a [G]way.

For the solo you can play the intro's part, or better yet,
improvise in the same key the way you feel it ;)
