George Thorogood & The Destroyers – Gone Dead Train (Guitar)

A
My engine was pumpin' steam

          D
And I was grindin' at you hard and fast

      A
I was burnin' down the rails

A
To heat the way

D
Haulin' ass a-ridin' up the tracks

      A
And I laughed at the conductor

                      D
Who was tellin' me my coal would never last

         E
When the fire in my boiler

E
Up and quit before I came

      D
There ain't no empty cellar

            C    A
Need a gone dead train

A
Once was at a time when I could

A
Mama shave 'em dry

    D
And raise a fever ice-down chill

        A
Waitin' at the station

A
With a heavy loaded sack

D
Savin' up and holdin' just to spill

         A
Shootin' my supply through my demon's eye

           D
Instead of waitin' for the time, I hope I will

             E
But then the fire in my boiler

E
Up and quit before I came

      D
There ain't no empty cellar

             C    A
Needs a gone dead train

           D    C    A
Yes it's a gone dead train

A
I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now

       D    C    A
It's a gone dead train

A
Gonna teach it to learn

A
There ain't no easy way

D
To run a down-hill pull

          A
And there ain't no easy way

     D
Just wishin' for some jelly roll

A
Ain't no switch been made

   D
To make your juicy lemon find

D
A spring to run a dry well full

           E
'Cause the fire in my boiler

E
Up and quit before I came

      D
There ain't no empty cellar

            C    A
Need a gone dead train

           D    C    A
Yes it's a gone dead train

A
I'm gonna teach it to learn

                D    C    A
You know it's a gone dead train

A
Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn

A
My engine was pumpin' steam

          D
And I was grindin' at you hard and fast

      A
I was burnin' down the rails

A
To heat the way

D
Haulin' ass a-ridin' up the tracks

      A
And I laughed at the conductor

                      D
Who was tellin' me my coal would never last

         E
When the fire in my boiler

E
Up and quit before I came

      D
There ain't no empty cellar

            C    A
Need a gone dead train

             D    C    A
Yeah, it's a gone dead train

A
You gotta teach it to burn

     D    C    A
It's gone dead train

A
You gotta teach to learn

            D    C    A
Baby it's a gone dead train
