49 Tons

Note: Original key  is F, capo  2 and play in G to get the same result



              G
If there were seventeen cars out in my back yard,
    F
The boys in blue were calling my name,
G
Semi-automatics up on the rooftop,
F
They just wanted to talk to me,
    G
I'd tell them what they wanted to hear,
    F
The only thing that I knew.
G
Forty-nine tons of diesel locomotive
F
Couldn't drag me back to you.


     G
Everywhere you go, there's a train wreck, baby,
     F
Everywhere you go, there's a runaway train,
G
Breaking my heart like a bottleneck, baby,
F
Sliding up and down and pulling its strings.
     G
Everywhere you go, everybody knows,
F
You're looking for someone to do.
G
Forty-nine tons of diesel locomotive
F
Couldn't drag me back to you.


   G
If I was a brakeman, if I was a switchman,
   F
If I was an engineer,
    G
I'd take that train on down the line
F
And clear on out of here.
   G
If I was the man swinging the lantern,
    F
I'd swing it 'til it was blue.
G
Forty-nine tons of diesel locomotive
F
Couldn't drag me back to you.
