Slow Train

[Intro] 2x) Am Dm Am

    Am
    Sometimes I feel so low-down and
 disgusted,
                   Dm           
    can't help but wonder what's 
                    Am
happenin' to my companions.
             Am
    Are they lost or are they found,
    have they counted the cost it'll
 take to bring down,
              Dm                
    all their earthly principles 
                        Am
they're gonna have to abandon?
                   F               
    And there's a slow, slow train 
 Dm                   Am
comin' up around the bend.

             Am
    I had a woman down in Alabama,
              Dm                 
    she was a backwoods girl, but 
                Am
she sure was realistic.
               Am
    She said, "Boy, without a doubt,
    you have to quit your mess and 
straighten out,
              Dm                   
    you could die down here and be 
                 Am
just another accident statistic."
                   F               
    And there's a slow, slow train 
 Dm                   Am
comin' up around the bend.

             Am
    All that foreign oil controlling
 American soil,
          Dm                       
    look around you, it's just 
                Am
bound to make you embarrassed.

    Sheiks walkin' around like 
kings,
     wearing fancy jewels and nose 
rings,
      Dm                           
    deciding America's future from 
               Am
Amsterdam into Paris.
                   F               
    And there's a slow, slow train 
 Dm                   Am
comin' up around the bend.

                   Am
    Man's ego is inflated, his laws 
are outdated,
                  Dm
     they don't apply no more,
     you can't rely no more to be 
          Am
standin' around waitin'.
                        Am
    In the home of the brave, 
Jefferson turnin' over in his grave,
     Dm                         
    fools glorifying themselves, 
                 Am
trying to manipulate Satan.
                   F               
    And there's a slow, slow train 
 Dm                   Am
comin' up around the bend.

                Am
    Big-time negotiators, false 
healers and woman haters,
    Dm                             
    masters of the bluff and 
                Am
masters of the proposition.
                    Am
    But the enemy I see wears a 
cloak of decency,
              Dm             
    all non-believers and men 
stealers talkin' in the name of 
  Am
religion.
                   F               
    And there's a slow, slow train 
 Dm                   Am
comin' up around the bend.

                        Am
    People starving and thirsting, 
grain elevators are bursting,
                 Dm                
    you know it costs more to store
                                  Am
 the food than it does to give it.
                           Am
    They say lose your inhibitions, 
follow your own ambitions,
                      Dm
    they talk about a life of 
brotherly love,
    show me someone who knows how to
Am
 live it.
                   F               
    And there's a slow, slow train 
 Dm                   Am
comin' up around the bend.

                         Am
    Well, my baby went to Illinois

    with some bad-talkin' boy she 
could destroy,
            Dm                     
    a real suicide case, but there 
                              Am
was nothin' I could do to stop it.
                        Am
    I don't care about economy, I 
don't care about astronomy,
                 Dm                
    but it sure bothers me to see 
                          Am
my loved ones turning into puppets.
                   F               
    And there's a slow, slow train 
 Dm                   Am
comin' up around the bend.
