[Verse 1]
G Am D
I started as a cleaner back in nineteen forty nine
G Am D
I planned to spend me life just working up and down the line
Am G Am D
Devoted to the company till the driver's seat was mine
G Am D
I never thought that it would be me downfall
G Am D
I was working on the night shift with nothing much to do
G Am D
I sloped off out of the foreman's sight, well really, wouldn't you?
Am G Am D
I came across a number four just waiting for the crew
G Am D
And I clambered on the footplate like a driver
[Chorus 1]
C G
I'm the man who put the engine in the chip shop
Am D
And wherever I go me legend follows me
C G Am D
But as I watch the trains go by and lean upon me brush
G D G
I know I've made me mark on history
[Verse 2]
G Am D
She hadn't got much steam up so I filled her up with coal
G Am D
Released the brake and opened up the 'reg' to make her roll
Am G Am D
But she wouldn't budge an inch, and when I heard the foreman call
G Am D
I left her where she was and ran for cover
G Am D
The sun was just appearing when the shedman went his round
G Am D
He was back inside a minute with a puzzled sort of frown
Am G Am D
He said, "I've lost a number four; have you seen one around?"
G Am D
And I nearly filled me trousers when he asked me
[Chorus 2]
C G
I'm the man who put the engine in the chip shop
Am D
And wherever I go me legend follows me
C G Am D
But as I watch the trains go by and lean upon me brush
G D G
I know I've made me mark on history
[Verse 3]
G Am D
Well me stoking was impeccable; the steam had risen fast
G Am D
With the regulator open she began to move at last
Am G Am D
And a guard fell off his bicycle when he saw her rolling past
G Am D
For he couldn't see a fireman or a driver
G Am D
She took off down the main line going faster by the yard
G Am D
The signalman responded to a phone call from the guard
Am G Am D
Set the signals all at danger, then he cursed himself so hard
G Am D
There was no-one on the footplate who could see them
[Chorus 3]
C G
I'm the man who put the engine in the chip shop
Am D
And wherever I go me legend follows me
C G Am D
But as I watch the trains go by and lean upon me brush
G D G
I know I've made me mark on history
[Verse 4]
G Am D
She continued on her journey through the morning countryside
G Am D
Collecting sets of crossing gates, she carried them with pride
Am G Am D
Till at last they set the points to get the runaway inside
G Am D
And she headed for the buffers at the station
G Am D
The buffers never stood a chance, she wore them like a crown
G Am D
A wooden fence, a footbridge and a telegraph pole went down
Am G Am D
Then she took to the highway and went on towards the town
G Am D
But she couldn't bring herself to pass the chip shop
[Chorus 4]
C G
I'm the man who put the engine in the chip shop
Am D
And wherever I go me legend follows me
C G Am D
But as I watch the trains go by and lean upon me brush
G D G
I know I've made me mark on history
[Verse 5]
G Am D
She entered by the side door, and there she came to rest
G Am D
They made her safe and then went off to find the guilty pest
Am G Am D
It wasn't long before they tracked me down and I confessed
G Am D
To being the man who put the engine in the chip shop
[Chorus 5]
C G
I'm the man who put the engine in the chip shop
Am D
And wherever I go me legend follows me
C G Am D
But as I watch the trains go by and lean upon me brush
G D G
I know I've made me mark on history
