Last Train to Satansville Swervedriver
Last Train to Satansville (Swervedriver)
General Notes:
Standard Tuning. Adapted from a live bootleg of Adam playing acoustic guitar
Copenhagen). Standard 4/4 time. For the Copenhagen version, Adam uses a Capo on the 2nd fret, but
another live acoustic version he does not use a Capo, so your choice.
Intro:
Repeat the below pattern once without singing, and then sing the rest of the lines.

ice cold stare and said I?ve been having those dreams again
Every verse is basically played the same, but sometimes Adam throws in a C chord for the
two beats of the 1st or 2nd line of each verse, instead of just the Em riff. He also
an extra bar of the Em riff after some of the verses. I have indicated this below.
In [G]one dream there's this [Em]girl I love
And we [G]dance every wakin' [Em]breath[C]
And in the [G]other they've thrown me [Em]in a cell
C Em X2
And they're tryin' me for her death
I'm [G]only young and [Em]young in love
As I [G]hold that girl [Em]today[C]
But I'm [G]old and tired and [Em]in the cell
C Em X2
And I've nigh on withered away
Bridge:
Play the intro again, but skip the first time through, so you only play it 4X, all with
?Ooh?s. Note that the first words of the next verse below (?Y?see my?) fall on the last
and a half of the bridge.
Verse:
Y'see my [G]baby' gone a[Em]way too long
And I'm [G]chokin' back the [Em]tears[C]
Di[G]sheveled star in a [Em]burnt out bar
And I'm [C]talkin' in my [Em]drink
She [G]promised me the [Em]world and more
How [G]could she do this [Em]to me?[C]
And [G]now mine's tumblin' [Em]down around
But at [C]least my eyes can [Em]see, And those
C C* Em X2
stars in the sky are for me
*Note that for this one version of the verse, there is an extra line, which contains two
of the C chord.
So [G]as this fagged-out [Em]tinsel town
Waves [G]so-long to the [Em]sun[C]
I [G]lay here calmly [Em]on my bed
And the [C]trigger of my [Em]gun
And [G]should that no good [Em]woman show up
[G]Dancin' from a [Em]dream[C]
I'll [G]squeeze it twice and [Em]not think twice
And [C]relish every [Em]scream
Outro:
On the last line of the last verse, Adam sings ?scream? an octave higher, and moves
into the falsetto ?Ooh?s like in the Intro. ?Scream? replaces the first ?Ooh ooh?, so it
like this:
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
Scre- eam oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh
Ooh oo-ooh
Ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh
Gradually slow down the last few bars until the end.
