Ghost Trains Chords by Hank Snow

_ _ _ _ _ _ It was early in the fall and a blowin' up the squall From [A] the terrestrial you could
hear the weirdest [G#] _ moans [C#m] With a mighty lonesome cry came a whistle
from the sky [A] And it chilled the very marrow in [G#] my bones
Then [C#m] a loud rushing roar like you've never heard before
Turned [A] the blood to icy water in [B] my veins As I [A] watched with rising fear
Something [D] strange was drawing near [G#] And I saw in the clouds [C#m] ghouls train _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] The catapult and number nine [B] were racing through [E] the night
Just as [A] they passed me by I heard [G#] the engineer [C#m] cry
Giver [F#] coal, giver coal, shovel [B] it on You could [E] see the firemen grinnin'
In [A] the heads of those women But I [G#] knew before the finish they'd be [C#m] gone
They'd _ _ be gone
_ _ You could see the drivers roll As they shuttled on the coal
[A] And the black smoke came pouring [G#] from the stacks
[C#m] As they thundered through the sky I am here to testify
[A] You could hear the wheels a-clickin' [G#] on the tracks
Through [C#m] the smoke and the steam You could see the headlights gleam
[A] Now I have no proof but still the [B] fact remains
You [A] may doubt it but I swear [D] there was cinder in my hair
[D#m] When I saw in the clouds [C#m] ghouls train
_ _ Ghouls train
_ _ _ _ [A] The catapult 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#] Giver coal, giver coal, [B] shovel it on
[E] You could see the firemen grinnin' [A] In the heads of those women
[G#] As I watched I saw them fade [C#m] into the dawn _ _ _
_ [G#] As he watched he saw them fade [C#m] into the dawn _
