D C A

[Verse]

A
My engine pumpin' steam
D
And I was grindin' at you hard and fast
A
I was burnin' down the rails to heat the way
D
Haulin' ass and ridin' up the track
A
And I laughed at the conductor who was tellin' me 
D
My coal would never last
         E
When the fire in my boiler up and quit before I came
D
There ain't no empty cellar
       C               A
Need a gone dead train

[Verse]

A
Once was at a time when I could mama shave 'em dry
    D
And raise a fever ice-down chill
A
Waitin' at the station 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
         E
When the fire in my boiler up and quit before I came
D
There ain't no empty cellar
       C               A
Need a gone dead train


[Chorus]

            D    C    A
Yes, it's a gone dead train, got to help it to burn
                D    C     A
You know it's a gone dead train, you got to teach it to learn

[Solo]


[Verse]
       A
There ain't no easy way
           D
When your daily run a downhill pull

          A
And there ain't no easy day

D
Wishin' for some jelly roll

       A
There ain't no switch been made to make your juicy lemon find
   D
A spring to run a dry well full
     
         E
When the fire in my boiler up and quit before I came
D
There ain't no empty cellar
       C               A
Need a gone dead train

[Chorus]
             D    C     A
Yes, it's a gone dead train, got to help it to burn
                D    C     A
You know it's a gone dead train, you got to teach it to learn
                 D    C     A
You know it's a gone dead train got to help it to burn
                 D    C     A
You know it's a gone dead train you got to help it to learn
              D    C     A
Baby, it's a gone dead train yes, it's a gone dead train
