[Intro 1]
[G][A][Bm][G][D][A][Bm]

[Verse 1]
[D]I crossed
the desert on [Bm]a dining [D]car
In the spring of ninety-one
[Bm]I I [D]met some people
drinking [Bm]at th[D]e bar
They were laughing, having [A]fun

[Verse 2]
[D]I told 'em that I hadn't
[Bm]heard [D]the joke
That was so hilari[Bm]ous
[D]They said that I was just
[Bm]a dumb [A]cowpoke
I didn't want to make a fuss

[Verse 3]
So [G]I shot 'em down, [A]one by one
Then I [Bm]left 'em 'long the [G]rails
[D]I use my gun
[A]Whenever kindness [Bm]fails

[Verse 4]
[D]The moon was in the sign
[Bm]of Scorpio[D]
The sun was at my [Bm]back
[D]I didn't know how far the[Bm] train would go
[D]Until the law would fin[A]d my track

[Verse 5]
[D]I saw the brakeman and
the [Bm]engineer[D]
Drinking wine and eating [Bm]Brie
[D]I asked 'em who would
brake and [Bm]who would steer
[A]They started pointing back at me

[Verse 6]
So [G]I shot 'em down, [A]one by one
Then I [Bm]left 'em 'long the [G]rails
I [D]use my gun
[A]Whenever kindness [Bm]fails

[Verse 7]
[G]I[A][Bm][G][D][A][Bm]
[D]only
have a moment [Bm]to e[D]xplain
Just a chance to let you [Bm]know[D]
When it's time for you to
[Bm]board [D]the train
There are two ways you can [A]go[D]

[Verse 8]
You can ride the wheels [Bm]in
to [D]the sun
Feel the wind upon [Bm]your face
[D]Or you can laugh into a loa[Bm]ded gun[A]
And you'll likely lose your place

[Verse 9]
[G]So I shot 'em down, [A]one by one
Then I [Bm]left 'em 'long the [G]rails
I [D]use my gun
[A]Whenever kindness [Bm]fails
[G]Yeah I shot

[Verse 10]
'em down, [A]one by one
Then I [Bm]left 'em 'long the [G]rails
When I [D]use my gun
That [A]lonesome whistle [Bm]wails
