[Verse]

E                     E
Rat in a drain ditch, Caught on a limb,
A                   B      E
You know better but I know him.
E                E
Like I told you, what I said,
A                     B        E
Steal your face right off your head.

[Chorus]

         A  E         A  E   D          A          B
Now he's gone, now he's gone, Lord he's gone, he's gone.
       A                 B
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
     A                E              B          A           E
He's gone, he's gone, nothin's gonna bring him back...He's gone.


[Verse]

E               E
Nine mile skid, on a ten mile ride,
A                   B      E
Hot as a pistol but cool inside.
E                  E
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile,
A                     B        E
Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile!!!!


[Chorus]

         A  E         A  E     D          A          B
Now he's gone, now he's gone, Lord he's gone, he's gone.
       A                 B
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
  A               E                  B          A           E
He's gone, he's gone, nothin's gonna bring him back...He's gone


[Solo]

F#m  E  F#m  G#m F#m A E


[Bridge]

B               D                  A
Goin' where the wind don't blow so strange,
B             D                  A
Maybe on some high cold mountain range.
D                      A            G
Lost one round but the prize wasn't anything,
  D            Dm       A           B
A knife in the back and more of the same.


[Verse]

E                                E
Same old, rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb,
A                      B      E
You know better, but I know him.
E                 E
Like I told you, what I said,
A                      B          E
Steal your face right off your head.


[Chorus]

         A  E         A  E     D          A          B
Now he's gone, now he's gone, Lord he's gone, he's gone.
       A                 B
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
  A               E                  B          A           E
He's gone, he's gone, nothin's gonna bring him back...He's gone


[Outro]

E                   E
Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back.    x3
