{comment: Intro: G D Em C}

[G]Smokin long black Cadillac, [D]engines windin down
[Em]Parked it up on the sidewalk like he [C]owned the whole damn town
I'd hear him [G]talkin to some [D]chick through a [G]thick ghost of [C]smoke
Through a [G] thicker haze of southern [D]comfort and coke
He'd say girl youre [G]hotter than the hinges hangin [D]off the gates of hell
[Em]Dont be afraid to turn to me baby [C]if a he don't treat you well
And by [G]he he meant [D]me so I [G]laughed and I shook his [C]hand
He'd [G]laugh a little bit louder as he would [D]yell up at the band

{start_of_chorus}
Play a [G]train song, [D]pour me one more round
[Em]Make 'em leave my boots on on the [C]day they lay me down
I am a [G]runaway [D]locomotive [G]out of my one track [C]mind
And Im [G]lookin for any kind of [D]trouble that I can [G]find [D] [G]
{end_of_chorus}

[G]I got this old black leather jacket, [D]got this pack of Marlboro reds
[Em]I got this stash here in my pocket, got these [C] thoughts in my own head
I got to [G] run until Ive [D] gotta walk or [G]until I got to [C] crawl
At this [G]moment that I'm in right now and [D]nothin else at [G]all

{start_of_chorus}
Play a [G]train song, [D]pour me one more round
[Em]Make 'em leave my boots on on the [C]day they lay me down
I am a [G]runaway [D]locomotive [G]out of my one track [C]mind
{end_of_chorus}
{HARMONICA SOLO}
And the [G]television blizzard lights we [D]looked around his place
We [Em]found him cold there on the sofa a little [C] smile across his face
And though I [G]tried with all my [D]sadness somehow [G]I could never [C]weep
For a [G]man who looked to me like he died [D]laughin in his sleep

Singin' a [G]train song, [D]drinkin' a-one last round
We[Em] made 'em leave his boots on on the [C] day they laid him down  
He was a [G]runaway [D]locomotive [G]out of his one track [C]mind
