SPIKE DRIVIN' MAN
CHRIS KNIGHT
TRAILER TAPES
[] [D]
I musta been born
With steel in my hand
[A]
Probably gonna die
[D]
A Spike Drivin' Man
[D]
I just lay the rail
I don't drive a train
[A]
But if it jumps the track
[D]
I'm gonna hear my name
[D]
Train master says
This train better roll
[A]
Gotta pull the big boss's
[D]
cars of coal
[D]
So I work all night
In the pouring rain
[A]
I hate the train master
[D]
And I hate his train
[G]
Trains roll on and on
[D]
Don't never turn me lose
[Em]
I toss and turn all night long
[Cadd9] [G] [D]
Got the Spike Drivin Blues
[D]
On my way home
Train blocks the road
[A]
Always make me wait
[D]
Make supper cold
[D]
Then me and my wife
Go to sleep in our bed
[A]
'Till the high ball comes
[D]
And wakes the dead
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
[D]
Used to ride the caboose
Used to run the brake
[A]
'Till the bossman said
[D]
that job aint' safe
[D]
Now I'm back on the rail
A hammer in my hand
[A]
I know I'm gonna die
[D]
A Spike Drivin' Man
Repeat Chorus
[D]
Spike Drivin' Blues
Drive a man insane
[A]
I hate the train master
[D]
And I hate his train
**NOTE** Chris periodically plays a hammer-on with his middle finger on the [D] and [A] strings
at the 3rd fret - Listen to the recording, it's pretty easy to figure out.
Thanks
