Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][E][Am][F]
[E]Yesterday's coal

[Verse 1]
[Am]train
came to [F]rest in the [E]bitter [Am]cutting
[G]And as the sig[C]nals [Am]took [F]an age to
[Dm]change [C]it was eas[Am]y pic[E]kings
So you [Dm]go to the movies
where they smash it up
You want to feel your [F]heart
pumping it [G]makes you feel good
All [C]through the [Am]karaoke [F]girls
were squealing the hit[Dm]s
[Am]As an[C]other Mer[Am]cedes- [F]Benz
gets [Dm]blown [Am]to bi[C]ts[Am][E]
While all the [Am]time in the [F]Camptown Theatres
[Am]of Piccadilly
They're going [C]to throw a black- [Am]face min
[F]strel [Am]show for the [C]barefoot children
[E]That they're always selling
They'll [Dm]say "It's quaint"
as the guilty ones faint
And claim [F]they [Dm]ain't
under[G]neath this paint
We [C]interrupt [Am]these liber[F]al saint[Am]s with
[C]their whips and [Am]watermel[E]on[Am]

[Verse 2]
Reports are [Am]coming [C]in [Am]of[D]
a coal- [F]train [Am]robbery
It's like another world,
[D]or it had[F#dim] better be[F][E]

[Verse 3]
So we re[Am]turn to whitewashed
pout of his committed lips
Since he was de[C]clared the
long [F]lost fountain of [G]youth
That [C]drips and [Am]drips [E]and drips
They'll be [Dm]sending him
round from door to door,
To [F]sell you back what's [G]already yours
"So [Dm]many good deeds, so little time"
Say the advertising [G]agency swine
When [Dm]man has destroyed
what he thinks he owns
I hope [F]no living [Dm]thing [F]cries [G]over his bones
If you [C]don't [Am]believe that
I'm [F]going for good
[Am]You can coun[C]t the days[Am] I'm g[F]one and chop
up [Am]the chairs [C]for firewoo[E]d

[Verse 4]
[Am]
Reports are coming [D]in of
a coal- [F]train [Am]robbery
It's like another [G]world, [Am]or[D][F#dim][F][G][Am][D][F][Am]
[D]it had bet[F]ter
[Am]be[D][F#m][D][Am]
