Tom: G
G C
Well, you've done me wrong, but it won't be long,
G D
'Til my blues are out of sight.
G C
And this old green rattler is ready to go,
G D G
Rollin' out of town tonight.
[Verse 2]
G C
See the steam and hear the whistle scream,
G D
And we're up on the northern line.
G C
Flyin' thirty-eight, never known to be late,
G D G
Rock and rollin' along on time.
[Chorus]
G C
Oh, sling that coal and hear that engine roll,
G G/F# D
Keep the signals clear tonight.
G C
Women, wine and song, I've had you to long,
G D G
Gonna lose my blues tonight.
[Instrumental]
G C G D G C G D G
[Verse]
G C
I've been in town I've been foolin' around,
G G/F# D
And spent some time in jail.
G C
Gonna start again, don't know where or when,
G D G
But tonight I'm changing my trail.
[Verse]
G C
It's good to see the bushland free,
G G/F# D
The moon and stars so bright.
G C
And this old green rattler seems to know,
G D G
That I'm losin' my blues tonight.
[Chorus/Outro]
G C
Oh, sling that coal and hear that engine roll,
G G/F# D
Keep the signals clear tonight.
G C
Let the smoke clouds fly, I'm sayin' goodbye,
G D G
I'm Gonna lose my blues tonight.
G D G
I'm Gonna lose my blues tonight.
