A

[Verse 1]
A
My engine was pumpin' steam
          D
And I was grindin' at you hard and fast
      A
I was burnin' down the rails, tryin' to heat the way
D
Haulin' ass and ridin' up the track
     A                                              D
So I laughed at the conductor who was tellin' me my coal
D
It would never last
D            E
But then the fire in my boiler
E
Up and quit before I came
   D
It ain't no empty cellar
           N.C. C    A
Like a gone     dead train

[Verse 2]
A
Once was at a time when I could
A
Mama shave 'em dry
          D
And raise a fever ice-down chill
    A
And waitin' at the station
A
With a heavy loaded sack
D
Savin' up and holdin' just to spill
A
Shootin' my supply through my demon's eye
D
Instead of holdin' my time, I hope I will
D            E
But then the fire in my boiler
E
Up and quit before I came
      D
There ain't no empty cellar
            N.C. C    A
Needs a gone     dead train

[Chorus]
A          D    C    A
Yes it's a gone dead train
A
I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now
       D    C    A
It's a gone dead train
           D    C    A
Yes it's a gone dead train
A
I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now

[Verse 3]
A
There ain't no easy day
          D
When your daily run's a downhill pull
          A
And there ain't no easy way
D
Wishin' for some jelly roll
      A
There ain't no switch been made
A
To make your juicy lemon find
   D
A spring to run a dry well full
             E
But then the fire in my boiler
E
Up and quit before I came
      D
There ain't no empty cellar
            N.C. C    A
Needs a gone     dead train

[Out-Chorus]
A               D    C    A
You know it's a gone dead train
A
I'm gonna teach it to learn
                D    C    A
You know it's a gone dead train
A
Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn
       D    C    A
It's a gone dead train
A
It's a gone dead train, you gotta learn
                D    C    A
You know it's a gone dead train
A
Gonna teach it, gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn
                D    C    A
You know it's a gone dead train
A
Gonna teach it to burn
                D    C    A
You know it's a gone dead train
A
Gonna teach it, gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn
                D    C    A
You know it's a gone dead train
