Hank Williams III - Wreck of the Old 97 Chords

[E] _ _ _ Well, they gave him his orders, and Monroe, _ Virginia, _ [B] said,
_ Steve, you're way [E] behind time. _ _
_ _ This is not _ 38.
_ This is old 97. _
_ [B] So put her in the Spencer [E] on time. _ _ _ _
[A] And he turned around and said to his _ _ black, _ greasy [E] _ _ fireman, _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] shove along _ _ _ a little _ _ _ _ [B] more coal.
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [G#] _
_ _ [D] [E] And when _ we crossed that _ wild _
_ _ [A] _ mountain, _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ white _ [B] old _ _ 97 _ _ [E]
road. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And then a telegram came [A] from Washington Station,
[F#m] and this is how [E] it read. _
Oh, that brave engineer [A] that ran old 97
[B] is lying in old Van [E] Ville there.
Because [A] he was going down the grid making 90 [E] miles an hour. _ _ _ _
[A] And the whistle _ broke down to [Bm] a string. _ _ _ _
[E] He was found in the wreck with his hand on [A] the throttle, _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ scarlet to death by [E] the sting. _ _ _ _

_ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ [E] _ _ _
Now, all you ladies, [A] you better take a warning [D#] from this time
[E] on and learn. _
Never speak harsh words [A] to a true love husband.
[B] He may leave you and [E] never return.
Poor [B] boy, he may leave. _ _ _ _
