[C#m]
It was early in the fall and the blowing up of this wall [A] from the terrestrial you could hear the [G#] weirdest moans.
With [C#m] a mighty lonesome cry came a whistle from the sky and [A] it chilled very marrow in my [G#] bones.
[C#m] Then a loud rushing roar like you've never heard before [A] turned the blood to icy water in [B] my veins.
As [A] I watched with rising fear [D] something strange was drawing near and [G#] I saw in the clouds [C#m] goose train.
Goose train's coming, smart deer.
The [A] cattle mull and number nine were [B] racing through the [E] night just as they [A] passed me by I [G#] heard the [C#m] engineer cry.
Give her [F#] coal, give her coal, [B] shovel it on.
[E] You could see the firemen grinning [A] in the engine and those women [G#] but I knew before the finish [C#m] they'd be gone.
[G#] Letting you know the finish [C#m] they'd be gone.
You could see the drivers roll as they shovel on coal [A] and the black smoke came pouring from [G#] the stacks.
[C#m] As they fumbled through the sky I am here to testify you [A] could hear the wheels a-clicking on [G#] the tracks.
Through [C#m] the smoke and the steam you could see the headlights gleam.
Now [A] I have no proof but still the [B] fact remains you [A] may doubt it but I swear there [D] was cinder in my hair when [G#] I saw in the clouds [C#m] goose train.
Goose train, smart deer.
[A] The cattle mull and number [B] nine were racing [E] through the night just [A] as they passed me by I [G#] heard the engineer [C#m] cry.
[F#] Give her coal, give her coal, [B] shovel it on.
[E] You could see the firemen grinning [F#m] in the engine and those women [G#] as I watched I saw them [C#m] fade into the dawn.
[G#] As he watched them fade [C#m] into the dawn.
