Verse 1
(From the 1971 Album CRAZY HORSE)
Intro
[A]
Verse 1
[A]My engine was pumpin' steam
And I was [D]grindin' at you hard and fast
I was [A]burnin' down the rails, tryin' to heat the way
[D]Haulin' ass and ridin' up the track
So I [A]laughed at the conductor who was tellin' me my [D]coal
[D]It would never last
[D]But then the [E]fire in my boiler
[E]Up and quit before I came
It [D]ain't no empty cellar
Like a gone [C]dead [A]train
Verse 2
[A]Once was at a time when I could
[A]Mama shave 'em dry
And raise [D]a fever ice-down chill
And [A]waitin' 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]Instead of holdin' my time, I hope I will
[D]But then the [E]fire in my boiler
[E]Up and quit before I came
There [D]ain't no empty cellar
Needs a gone [C]dead [A]train
Chorus
[A]Yes it's a [D]gone [C]dead [A]train
[A]I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now
It's a [D]gone [C]dead [A]train
Yes it's a [D]gone [C]dead [A]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 day
When your [D]daily run's a downhill pull
And there [A]ain't no easy way
[D]Wishin' for some jelly roll
There [A]ain't no switch been made
[A]To make your juicy lemon find
A [D]spring to run a dry well full
But then the [E]fire in my boiler
[E]Up and quit before I came
There [D]ain't no empty cellar
Needs a gone [C]dead [A]train
Out-Chorus
[A]You know it's a [D]gone [C]dead [A]train
[A]I'm gonna teach it to learn
You know it's a [D]gone [C]dead [A]train
[A]Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn
It's a [D]gone [C]dead [A]train
[A]It's a gone dead train, you gotta learn
You know it's a [D]gone [C]dead [A]train
[A]Gonna teach it, gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn
You know it's a [D]gone [C]dead [A]train
[A]Gonna teach it to burn
You know it's a [D]gone [C]dead [A]train
[A]Gonna teach it, gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn
You know it's a [D]gone [C]dead [A]train
