_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [E]
the shuffling [Em] _ [D] madness [Em] of the locomotive brass, _ _ [E] runs the all-time [Em] loser, [D] _ _ [B] _
headlong to his death.
[D] Oh, [Em] it feels a piston scraping, _ [E] steam breaking on his brow.
[G] _ Old Tardy sold [A] a paddle, and [B] the train in watch top, going nowhere could [E] slow it _ down.
_ [Bm] Oh, _ [E] _ _
he _ [Em] _ _ _ _
sees his children jumping [G] off _ [E] the stations one [Em] by _ one.
[E] His woman and his [Bm] best friend, [B] in bed and having fun.
[Em] Oh, it's falling down the corridor _ on [E] _
his hands [Em] and knees.
_ [G] Old Tardy sold [A] a paddle, and [B] the train in watch top, going nowhere could [Em] slow it _ down.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
he hears the silence _ howling, [D] [Em] he catches angels as they fall.
_ [D] _ _ [Em]
And the all-time winner, _ [B] _
has got him by the balls.
[D] Oh, [Em] it paints a Gideon's Bible, _ _ [E] _
open at page [Bm] one.
_ [G] And thank God, he [A] stole the paddle, _ and the [B] train in watch top, going nowhere could [Em] slow it down.
_ _ No way to slow _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ down.
_ _ [B] _ _ [G] _ _ [Em] _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ No way to slow down. _
