[Verse 1]
E                    G5  G5 F#5
Riding the underground
E                 G5 G5 F#5
Swimming in sweat
E                     D  A
A rumble above and below
E                        G5 G5 F#5
Hey, cop, don't you know
E                      G5 G5 F#5
The heat's on alright
E                         D            A
The hot summer day didn't quit for the night

[Chorus]
A
1277 express to heaven
G                       A
Speeding along like dynamite
A
1277 express to heaven
G                           A
Rumbles the steel like a dogfight


[Post-Chorus]
D                  C
You caught me in a spell
C/B                     A
Trying to leave, but you know darn well
    G                             A    E
The heat from below can burn your eyes out

[Verse 2]
E                   G5 G5 F#5
Blackened out eyes
E                     G5 G5 F#5
Scratched on the wall
E                        D     A
Stoned outlooks from the crowd
E                      G5 G5 F#5
The king will not know
E                       G5 G5 F#5
On the wall, it was said
E                          D            A
The flash of his cards was sprayed with red
