Emi  G  D  Emi (2x)

Emi               Emi G D Emi
In the shuffling madness
Emi                Emi G D Emi
of Locomotive Breath
Emi               Emi G D H
Runs the all-time loser
H                H H D Emi
Headlong to his death
Emi               Emi G D Emi
Oh He feels the pistons scraping
Emi               Emi G D
Steam Breaking on his brow
G                   A
Old Charlie stole the handle
        H                         H      D       Emi
And the train it won't stop going no way to slow down

He sees his children jumping off
At stations one by one
His woman and his best friend
In bed and having fun
Oh he's crawling down the corridor
On his hands and knees
Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train it won't stop going no way to slow down

He hears the silence howling
Catches angels as they fall
And the all-time winner
Has got him by the balls
Oh he picks up gideon's Bible
Open at page one
I thank god He stole the handle
And the train it won't stop going no way to slow down...
