GONE DEAD TRAIN (LIVE)
As recorded by The Ducks
(1977 recording from the 2023 Album HIGH FLYIN')
[Intro]
D C A
[Verse 1]
A
My engine is pumpin' steam
D
Hittin' hard and fast
A
Shootin' down the rails, tryin' to heat the way
D
Haulin' ass and ridin' up the track
A D
Laughin' at the conductor who was tellin' me my coal
D
It never last
E
Well the fire in my boiler
E
Up and quit before I came
D
Ain't no empty cellar
C N.C. A
Like a gone dead train
[Verse 2]
A
Once was at a time when I could
A
Mama shave 'em dry
D
And raise a fever ice-down chill
A
Standin' at the station
A
With a heavy loaded sack
D
Savin' up and holdin' just to spill
A
Shootin' my supply through my demon's eye
D
Waitin' for the time, I hope I will
E
Then the fire in my boiler
E
Up and quit before I came
D
There ain't no empty cellar
C N.C. A
Needs a gone dead
[Chorus]
D C A
Yes it's a gone dead train
A
I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now
D C A
It's a gone dead train
D C A
It's a gone dead train
A
I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now
[Guitar Solo]
D A D A
[Verse 3]
A
There ain't no easy way
D A
When your daily run's a downhill pull
A
Ain't no riskin' man
D
Wishin' for some jelly roll
A
Ain't no switch been made
A
To make your juicy lemon find
D
A spring to run a dry well full
E
But then the fire in my boiler
E
Up and quit before I came
D
Ain't no empty cellar
C N.C. A
Needs a gone dead train
[Guitar Solo]
D C A D C A

[Verse 4]
A
Well, my engine is pumpin' steam
D
Hittin' hard and fast
A
Shootin' down the rails, tryin' to heat the way
D
Haulin' ass and ridin' up the track
A D
Laughin' at the conductor who was tellin' me my coal
D
It never last

Well the fire in my boiler

Up and quit before I came

Ain't no empty cellar

Like a gone dead train
