G               Am
 Musical ting call the Gravy Train

G                              Am
 Can't afford to miss this train

  G                  Am
Choo choo I said the train is coming

  G                  Am

 Another day, another dollar

G            Am                G    Am
  Feels like every day it's the same

G          Am             G                Am
  And I've given it the best years of my life

    G                Am               G
For someone else to ride on that Gravy Train

Am

Am        G                 Am                 G
  You can hear that whistle blowing round the bend

Am        G
  You can hear the sound of laughing

       G               Am
As the Gravy Train is passing

         G              Am                G   Am
But that Gravy Train it won't be stopping here

G            Am         G                  Am            G
 But it gets harder every day (But it gets harder every day)

    Am              G                  Am
And if I work for a hundred years or more

    G                   Am              G
I still won't get my seat on that Gravy Train

Am        G
  You can hear the sound of laughing

       G               Am
As the Gravy Train is passing

         G              Am                G   Am
But that Gravy Train it won't be stopping here

But that Gravy Train is running out of steam
