G 
  Keep your weight on the Dead Man's Handle

                    Em   
Or the wheels won't hold the rail

          G
Keep your weight on the Dead Man's Handle

                     Em
Or the steam brake's bound to fail

            C                    D
Woah she'll jump boys and she'll slip

        Bm6                   C
If your hand should lose it's grip

                  G      C
On the Dead Man's Handle

               G      C              
The Dead Man's Handle

               G      D         C           D         G 
The Dead Man's Handle keep your mind on the journey's end
Remember all of your skills and learning, Gonna need them now Remember all of your words of warning, Gonna need them now There's just one bridge left to cross Keep her moving or the day is lost The Dead Man's Handle...
Bsus4
Look down, look down, look down

    G
The valley is burning, fire without end

Bsus4
Look down, look down, look down

           A                     D 
And you'll never get back on the tracks again
Keep your weight on the Dead Man's Handle Till you see that the day is won Too many's the foolish man who's fallen 'Cause he jumped the gun See ahead, your brother stands Ease the brake, stretch out your hand The Dead Man's Handle... Verse 1 by: José Duarte [email protected]
