Coal-Train Robberies

            Am                 G
Yesterday's coal train came to rest 
in the bitter
F
Cutting
           C       G       F      
And as the signals took an age to 
G      E
change it was
E7
Easy pickings
F
So you go to the movies where they 
smash it up
G
You want to feel your heart pumping 
it makes

You feel good
C                                  
All through the karaoke girls were 
G
squealing

The hits
C                   G            
As another Mercedes-Benz gets 
      E  E7
blown to bits
              Am                   
While all the time in the camp town
 G
 theaters
   F
Of Piccadilly
                 C       G        
They're going to throw a 
  F
black-face minstrel
Continúa después del anuncio
G            E
Show for the barefoot children
             E7
That they're always selling
    F
They'll say "It's quaint" as the 
guilty ones faint
    G
And claim they ain't underneath this
 paint
       C           G
We interrupt these liberal saints 
with their
F         E
Whips and watermelon


[Chorus]
Am                    F 
Reports are coming in of a 
   Dm         G
coal-train robbery
Am        F              Dm      
It's like another world, or it had 
  G
better be

       Am                   G
So we return to whitewashed pout of 
his
            F
Committed lips
             C            G       
Since he was declared the long 
  F
lost fountain
   G          E                   
Of youth that drips and drips and 
E7
drips
           F
They'll be sending him round from 
door to door
   G
To sell you back what's already 
yours
C                       G
"So many good deeds, so little time"
        C                  G     E
Say the advertising agency swine
 E7

     F
When man has destroyed what he 
thinks he owns
  G
I hope no living thing cries over 
his bones
       C                      G
If you don't believe that I'm going 
for good
        C                          
You can count the days I'm gone and
 G
 chop up
               E      E7
The chairs for firewood

[Chorus]
Am                    F 
Reports are coming in of a 
   Dm         G
coal-train robbery
Am        F              Dm      
It's like another world, or it had 
  G
better be
