Intro 1
(A minor)
Verse 1
A (A minor) runaway train hit the
heart of this town
Then (C major) the explosion
knocked the buildings down
The (D minor) fireball that followed
what an awful sight
The (F major) fire burned into our (G major) memories
like (A minor) a funeral
The steel (F major) rails stole our (G major) trusting souls
Like a thief in (A minor) the night
Old tracks, cutbacks, just a one -man crew
Still a (C major) set of wheel chucks would surely do
An (D minor) engine fire, leaking brakes,
all took their toll
But a (F major) train can't run away
(G major) if it doesn't start to (A minor) roll (G major) (A minor) (G major)
One (C major) -wheel chock,
and they didn't have to fall
Two (D minor) -wheel chocks,
well, they could have had it all
Three (F major) -wheel chocks for a (G major) back -up and all
And I (A minor) better not die in vain
Don't you tell (F major) me that they
died (G major) in (A minor) vain (G major) (A minor)
The horror struck in the middle of the night
No (C major) train could make that turn
when it's in full flight
47 (D minor) victims, hundreds more that mourn
And our province, (F major)
and our (G major) country feels so (A minor) forlorn (G major) (A minor)
Railcar Design made the
news again this week
of the (C major) physics of prevention.
They did not speak, sure,
(D minor) the trains down
when there's hazardous on board.
But a (F major) ghost train, a (G major) runaway,
what's to do, (A minor) Lord? (G major) (A minor) (G major)
One (C major) -wheel chalk, a train will start to roll.
Two (D minor) -wheel chalks and
you're good to go.
Three (F major) wheeled trucks for (G major) a safe furlough
And it (A minor) would not have rolled away
No, it could (F major) not (G major) have rolled
away (A minor) (G major) (A minor)
Quatre groupes avec de
bonnes fêtes à célébrer
Avec de la (C major) bonne musique
dans le music -café
Les (D minor) gens viennent le droit de célébrer
Sans la peur (F major) de ceux qui (G major) s
'y en (A minor) viennent. (G major) (A minor)
Lac -Meganec,
don't want to be remembered this way.
It's a (C major) pretty little town
on the way to Gaspé,
Though it (D minor) sat on the root of the old MM &A.
It is not (F major) defined (G major) by that one tragic (A minor) day
So (G major) (A minor) don't you tell (F major) me
that they (G major) died (A minor) in vain
Not from a pre (F major) ventable run (G major) away train (A minor)
One (G major) (C major) -wheel chalk
seems to make sense
Two (D minor) -wheel chocks, spare no expense
Three (F major) -wheel chocks for
a (G major) clear conscience
And it (A minor) would not roll away
So don't you tell (F major) me that
they died (G major) in (A minor) vain (G major)
One (C major) -wheel chock, let me demonstrate it
Two (D minor) -wheel chocks,
we must demand they mandate it
Three (F major) -wheel chocks,
it (G major) takes but a moment (A minor)
And don't you tell (F major) me that
they (G major) died (A minor) in vain
Not from a pre (F major) ventable run (G major) away train (A minor)
And they shall (F major) not have
(G major) died in (A minor) vain
Would there ne (F major) 'er again be (G major)
