[E] [D]
[A]
I'm a giant who's pumping steam [D] and I was riding at your hearty pace.
[A] I'm a furnace out of rails that heats the way.
[D] Oh, and it's a ride that's a trap.
[A] And I'm last.
I can duck and goose down to [D] my coal, but never last.
[E] When the fire in my boiler up and went before I came, [D] there ain't no empty cellar to eat or [C] go and dance.
[A] I'm a train.
I wonder what time will I pull out of shape and ride, [D] raising up my lights down to chill.
[A] Waitin' at the station with a heavy load of sack, [D] saving up all the spill.
[A] Shootin' up the sky with my demoglide, [D] instead of waiting for the time to hold my will.
[E] When the fire in my boiler up and went before I [D] came, there ain't no empty cellar to [C] eat or go and dance.
I'm [A] a train.
[D] It's a [C] long day [A] of trainin', but I teach the herd.
It's [D] a [C] long day [A] of trainin', but I teach the herd.

[A]
And the hay goes easy [D] way, for a run-down little bull.
[A] And the hay goes easy way, for a ship [D] on the rail road.
[A]
Ain't no food to be made with a tissue-lemon pie, [D] the spring moves on a dry well floor.
[E] When the fire in my boiler up and went before I came, [D] there ain't no empty cellar to eat [C] or go and dance.
[A] I'm a train.
[D] It's a [C] long day [A] of trainin', but I teach the herd.
[D] It's a long [C] day of [A] trainin', but I teach the herd.

My head is dry, and the pump is steaming, but [D] I was mindin' the hard facts.
I [A] was muddered down the rail, to keep the way, [D] all that's the right stuff to say.
