[Verse 1]
Bm C# E Bm In the Siskiyou Mountains, the old railroad winds Bm E Em F# Through the golds of the maples and the green of the pines Bm D A G Up to Tunnel 13, the Southern she climbs Bm A Bm And three bandits waiting with evil in mind
[Verse 2]
Bm C# E Bm The D'Autremont brothers had chosen their road Bm E Em F# Chosen to live by a criminal code Bm D A G Word was the mail car was loaded with gold Bm A Bm The brothers had heard it, or had maybe been told

[Bridge]
D Em A They wanted no witnesses, that was a fact Bm G A The brothers were bent on a barbarous act D G A Gold there was none, only sadness and tears F# Bm G A And the law coming after them year after year
[Verse 3]
Bm C# E Bm Three bandits, hearts filled with resentment and hate Bm E Em F# Killed mail clerk Elvyn Daugherty, engineer Sydney Bates Bm D A G With shotgun and pistols, they were panicking when Bm A Bm They killed brakeman Coyle Johnson and fireman Marvin Seng
[Verse 4]
Bm C# E Bm Robbing and looting is as old as the hills Bm E Em F# They're still jumping freight trains with crowbars and drills Bm D A G A hundred years later in Downtown LA Bm A Bm They rob the Union Pacific damn near every day
[Verse 5]
Bm C# E Bm Four good men lay murdered in the dogwoods and pines Bm E Em F# Leaving widows and children and heartbreak behind Bm D A G Tunnel 13 is the place in the song Bm A Bm Where the beautiful redwood for my guitar came from
