SPIKE DRIVIN' MAN TRAILER TAPES Tabbed By: Renfield
   D 
I musta been born
With steel in my hand
                A 
Probably gonna die

                 D 
A Spike Drivin' Man

 D 
I just lay the rail
I don't drive a train
                       A 
But if it jumps the track

                    D   
I'm gonna hear my name

 D 
Train master says
This train better roll
                     A 
Gotta pull the big boss's

         D 
cars of coal

 D 
So I work all night
In the pouring rain
                  A 
I hate the train master

                  D 
And I hate his train

 G 
Trains roll on and on 

       D 
Don't never turn me lose

   Em 
I toss and turn all night long

         Cadd9   G        D 
Got the Spike Drivin Blues

 D 
On my way home
Train blocks the road
                A 
Always make me wait

             D 
Make supper cold

 D 
Then me and my wife
Go to sleep in our bed
                 A 
'Till the high ball comes

               D 
And wakes the dead
[Repeat Chorus] [Bridge]
 D 
Used to ride the caboose
Used to run the brake
                   A 
'Till the bossman said

                D 
that job aint' safe

 D 
Now I'm back on the rail
A hammer in my hand
                  A 
I know I'm gonna die

               D 
A Spike Drivin' Man
[Repeat Chorus]
 D 
Spike Drivin' Blues
Drive a man insane
                  A 
I hate the train master 

                D 
And I hate his train
**NOTE** Chris periodically plays a hammer-on with his middle finger on the D and A strings at the 3rd fret - Listen to the recording, it's pretty easy to figure out. Questions, comments to diglaf at hotmail.com Thanks
