49 Tons

              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.
