Em Em G D Em
In the shuffling madness
Em Em G D Em
of Locomotive Breath
Em Em G D B
Runs the all-time loser
B B D B Em
Headlong to his death
Em Em G D Em
Oh He feels the pistons scraping
Em Em G D
Steam Breaking on his brow
G A
Old Charlie stole the handle
B B D B Em
And the train it won't stop going no way to slow down
Em G D Em (x2)
Em Em G D Em
He sees his children jumping off
Em Em G D Em
At stations one by one
Em Em G D B
His woman and his best friend
B B D B Em
In bed and having fun
Em Em G D Em
Oh he's crawling down the corridor
Em Em G D
On his hands and knees
G A
Old Charlie stole the handle
B B D B Em
And the train it won't stop going no way to slow down
Em Em G D Em
He hears the silence howling
Em Em G D Em
Catches angels as they fall
Em Em G D B
And the all-time winner
B B D B Em
Has got him by the balls
Em Em G D Em
Oh he picks up Gideon's Bible
Em Em G D
Open at page one
G A
I thank God He stole the handle
B B D B Em
And the train it won't stop going no way to slow down...
