(Capo 4th fret)
Intro:(C, G, Em)
Verse 1:
in 1817
a train that rolled on steam
heading for Denver
in the middle of winter
Verse 2:
the brakes were frozen solid
and the tempiture kept fallin'
the tracks were broke
and the conductor didn't know
Chorus:
it rolled through the dusk
and it rolled through the dawn
theres something catchy about that train
theres no body on
Verse 3:
the driver slamed on the brakes
but the people didn't wake
they kept sleeping in their bed
until they woke up dead
Verse 4:
the train went off the track
but the driver sharp as a tack
jumped out the window
what happened to him, well i dont know
Chorus:
Verse 5:
now every night they say
you can hear the train
its coming for its vengence
claiming one more victom
Chorus:
Outro:(C, G, Em, C, G, D)
