Tom: A
A
[Verse 1]
A
My engine was pumpin' steam
D
And I was grindin' at you hard and fast
A
I was burnin' down the rails, tryin' to heat the way
D
Haulin' ass and ridin' up the track
A D
So I laughed at the conductor who was tellin' me my coal
D
It would never last
D E
But then the fire in my boiler
E
Up and quit before I came
D
It ain't no empty cellar
N.C. C A
Like a gone dead train
[Verse 2]
A
Once was at a time when I could
A
Mama shave 'em dry
D
And raise a fever ice-down chill
A
And waitin' at the station
A
With a heavy loaded sack
D
Savin' up and holdin' just to spill
A
Shootin' my supply through my demon's eye
D
Instead of holdin' my time, I hope I will
D E
But then the fire in my boiler
E
Up and quit before I came
D
There ain't no empty cellar
N.C. C A
Needs a gone dead train
[Chorus]
A D C A
Yes it's a gone dead train
A
I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now
D C A
It's a gone dead train
D C A
Yes it's a gone dead train
A
I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now
[Guitar Solo]
D A D A
[Verse 3]
A
There ain't no easy day
D
When your daily run's a downhill pull
A
And there ain't no easy way
D
Wishin' for some jelly roll
A
There ain't no switch been made
A
To make your juicy lemon find
D
A spring to run a dry well full
E
But then the fire in my boiler
E
Up and quit before I came
D
There ain't no empty cellar
N.C. C A
Needs a gone dead train
[Out-Chorus]
A D C A
You know it's a gone dead train
A
I'm gonna teach it to learn
D C A
You know it's a gone dead train
A
Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn
D C A
It's a gone dead train
A
It's a gone dead train, you gotta learn
D C A
You know it's a gone dead train
A
Gonna teach it, gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn
D C A
You know it's a gone dead train
A
Gonna teach it to burn
D C A
You know it's a gone dead train
A
Gonna teach it, gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn
D C A
You know it's a gone dead train
