Chords for "Freight Train" Fred Eaglesmith 4/18/09

You know the one where the elephant comes out of the woods the elephant comes out of the jungle and he sees this
Naked man standing there, and he says how are you gonna eat with that?
_ [B] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ [D#] _ _ _
_ [N] How you gonna eat with that come along with me, Texas
_ You're _ _ dead a long time.
You know I'm no
I don't think anybody sits up on their deathbed and goes geez I'm glad I didn't laugh at the elephant joke that one time _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] I
Just like friggin Elvis at this thing.
I got a towel and everything [N] you know you know you're happening when you get a towel and
A new towel with very little fallout.
This is a good towel.
You know
_ _ Well, you know a lot of people think that the stuff the Kentucky Fried Chicken causes the cancer, but it's not
It's the fallout from the [G] towel because it's something [F#] we all have in common and everybody does sleep [C#] a Kentucky Fried in once in a while
[D] You know they have to hide the box so the wife doesn't find out
But you know [N] we know that's what everyone has in common
They sneak a little bucket of good, but they also use a towel every day
And if they they have [C#] found huge [G] masses of [D#] towel fallout in people
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] Nice talking to you, Texas
[D#] _ _ _ _ [G] The reason I know this of course is [D] because we have socialized [N] medicine in Canada, and we dig deeper than you _ _ _ _ _
We have that's where I'm from the land where there's socialism
You know that's that word that your [D] politicians use that it's so nasty socialism other places.
They just call it sharing
[N] _ It's _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ a good thing you just share you give some to the less fortunate it
It's okay, [B] and you know [Am] to tell you the truth [D#] capitalism really isn't working that good right now
_ _ It _ is [N] not really working that good right now, I'm sorry you're all broke _
[F#] _ _ _ [F#m] _ I'm sorry you're all broke, [F] but it's not the rest of us fault and we [D] like the reverse
Socialism is very interesting to us where you take from the bottom and give to the [C#] top
You know Castro is down [D] in Cuba right now going really
You're taking it from the people and giving it to the banks.
That's very interesting _ _
_ _ Well, they're not laughing [D#] out of it
