Play A Train Song â?? Todd Snider
Intro: G D Em C
[G]Smokin long black Cadillac, [D]engineâ??s windin down
[Em]Parked it up on the sidewalk li[C]ke he owned the whole damn town
I'd hear him [G]talkin to some [D]chick through a [G]thick ghost of [C]smoke
Through a [G]thicker haze of southern c[D]omfort and coke
He'd say girl youâ??[G]re hotter than the hinges [D]hangin off the gates of hell
[Em]Donâ??t be afraid to turn to me baby[C] if a he don't treat you well
And by [G]he he meant [D]me s[G]o I laughed and I shook his h[C]and
[G]He'd laugh a little bit louder as he would [D]yell up at the band
Chorus:
[G]Play a train song, [D]pour me one more round
[Em]Makeâ??em leave my boots on on th[C]e day they lay me down
I am a [G]runaway l[D]ocomotive [G]out of my one track [C]mind
[G] [D] [G]
[D]An[G]d Iâ??m lookin for any kind of trouble that I can find
[G]I got this old black leather jacket, got this [D]pack of Marlboro reds
I got this s[Em]tash here in my pocket, got these th[C]oughts in my own head
I got to [G]run until I[D]â??ve got walk o[G]r until I got t[C]o crawl
At this [G]moment that Iâ??m in right now an[D]d nothin else a[G]t all
Chorus:
[G]And the television blizzard lights we [D]looked around his place
We found him [Em]cold there on the sofa a little [C]smile across his face
And though I [G]tried with all my [D]sadness [G]somehow I could never [C]weep
For a [G]man who looked to me like he died [D]laughin in his sleep
Singin a [G]train song, [D]drinkin one last round
[Em]We madeâ??em leave his boots on on th[C]e day they laid him down
He was a [G]runaway [D]locomotive [G]out of his one track [C]mind
[G]Play a train [C]song
[G]Play a train [C]song
[G]Play a train[D] s[G]ong
