[E]
Yeah, in the shuffling madness of the locomotive drag, runs the all-time loser,
[B] and long to his death.
[E] Oh, if he ever pissed, the train [Em] thing'd be breaking on his [G] ground.
Oh, darling, slow [A] the hand up, and [B] the train, it won't stop going, no, it do [E] slow it down.
Yeah, if he sees his children jumping up, and seeking one by one, his woman and his best friend,
[B] he'd better have been [Bm] fun.
[E] Oh, he's crawling down the corridor on his hands and [G] knees.
Oh, darling, slow [A] the hand up, and [B] the train, it won't stop going, no, it do [E] slow it down.
