(D major)
Verse 1
I found myself on a bar (D major) room floor
I had drank so much I
couldn't drink no more
So I fell asleep with a troubled brain
And dreamed (G major) that I rode on (A major) a down
(B flat major) bound (A major) train (C sharp minor) (D major)

Verse 2
(D major)
The boiler was filled with blood and beer
The devil him (C sharp minor) self (D major) was the engineer
The passengers were most
a decadent crew
Some were foreigners and others I knew
Rock stars in velvet, gay boys in drag
They fed the fire with human bones
While the fur (G major) nace rang with (B flat major) a thousand (A major)
(D major) groans

Verse 3
As the train rushed on (D major)
at a terrible pace
Sulphuric fumes scorched
our hands and face
Wider and wider the country grew
Faster and faster the engine flew
Louder and louder (E flat minor)
the thunder crashed
Brighter and brighter the lighting (D major) flashed
(G major) Hotter and hotter the air became
Till (A major) our clothes were burnt to
a quiv (B flat major) ering (D major) flame
Verse 4
Then out (D major) of the distance
there came a yell
'Look here' - said the devil
- 'We're nearing home'
Oh how those passengers
shrieked with pain
(F major) An (G major) d begged old Satan (B flat major) (G major) to (B flat major) stop
(A major) that down (D major) bound (C sharp minor) (D major) train
