[G][Gm][G][Gsus4]

[Verse 1]
If there [Gm]were seventeen
cars out in my back yard
[G]The boy[F]s in blue were callin'
my name
[Gm]Semi-automatics up up on the rooftop
[F]They just wanted to talk to me
I'd [Gsus4]tell 'em [G]what
they wanted to hear
[Gm]The only[F] thing that I knew
[Gm]Forty-nine tons tons of diesel locomotive
[G]Cou[F]ldn't drag me bac[G]k
to you
[Gm][G][Gsus4]

[Verse 2]
[F]
[Gm]Everywhere you go there's
a train wreck baby
[F]Everywhere you go there's
a runaway train
[Gm]Play my heart like a bottleneck[F]baby
Sliding up and down and and
pulling my [C]strings
[Gsus4]Everywhere you [Gm]go ev[G]ery
[Gm]body knows
You're [F]looking for someone
to [Gm]do[G][F]
[G]
Forty-nine [Gm]tons tons [G]of
diesel locomotive
[F]Couldn't drag me [G]back to you

[Verse 3]
If [G]I was a b[Gm]rakeman I was a switch man
If [F]I was an e[Gsus4]ngineer
I'd [Gm]take that train on down that line
[C]And clear on out of [Gsus4]here
If [Gm]I was the man swinging th[G]e lanter[Gm]n
[G]I'd[Gsus4] swing it [Gm]'til [C]I
was [Gsus4]blue
[Gm]Forty-nine tons tons of diesel locomotive
[G]Cou[F]ldn't drag me bac[G]k to you
[Gm]Forty-nine tons tons of diesel locomotive
[G]Cou[F]ldn't drag me bac[Gsus4]k to you[G]
