Steel and Smoke Rail Yard Ghosts
Blowin' smoke, b[Cm]lowin' smoke, Chasin' steel, chasin' ste[G]el
Sometimes fr[Cm]eedom, sometimes freedom, we must st[G]eal for it to feel real
W[Cm]aitin' on that low hum, roll sl[G]ow
W[Cm]ho would pay to see how smooth it r[G]olls?
Breathe de[Cm]ep, breathe deep, Into the lu[G]ngs, into the lungs
Freedom ta[Cm]stes, freedom tastes, just like the s[G]un your tongue
Songs are s[Cm]ung, but wars are never w[G]on
Cm (once) G (once)
If we are one why can't we stare down the barrel of this gun
(Tempo Increases)
And oh these w[Cm]alls, some are br[G]icks and some are alcohol
So[Cm]me of them we can't even se[G]e at all
Some are h[Cm]ate, ignorance and ra[G]ge
Cm G (once)
Either way we've locked ourselves up in our own f**king cage
[G#] [/] [G] [/] [G#] [/] [G]
Bridge
Play yo[G#]ur roll, burn more coal[G], the whole train load full
Gag and choke on st[G#]agnant smoke, the burning of ancient b[G]ones
Won't you let this monster r[G#]oll across the prairies wi[G]de
G# G (once)
Iron, steel, and diesel dreams, These mountains steal my breath but not my life
(Tempo Decreases)
[Cm] [/] [G] [/] [Cm] [/] [G]
Cold winds bl[Cm]ow, cold winds blow, Pick your c[G]ar and count the bolts
Kill the cr[Cm]ops, Kill the crops, Dig the so[G]ul out of mountain tops
Happine[Cm]ss is a cold cold gutter, air brakes scr[G]eam and engines sputter
Sister, br[Cm]other, tell me where did we get lo[G]st?
