(A minor) The Iron road's a hard road and
the (E minor) work is never end (A minor) ing
Work (Asus2) ing night (A minor) and day
on the iron way
(E minor) We're (A minor) the boys who keep
the en (E minor) gines (A minor) rolling
You sigh on at the loco shed,
they (E minor) put you to the (A minor) clean (Asus2) ing
In your dun (A minor) garees,
cleaning super dees
You're a sweep (Asus2) er- upper,
brewer- upper, shovel slinger
Spanner bringer

general cook and bottle washer
Learning how to (E minor) keep 'em
(A minor) rolling
When you've done your time at the loco shed
And (E minor) had your

Verse 3
Some
ten or twelve (E minor) years (A minor) later
And your only dream is of raising steam
(E minor) Then (A minor) they hand to you
your driver (E minor) s (A minor) papers
The iron road is a hard road and the work
is (E minor) never end (Asus2) ing
Working night (A minor) and day on the iron way,
we're the
Loco drivers, early riser,
(Asus2) lodging (A minor) turners, mile burners
Eleven quid a week earners
We're the boys that (E minor) keep 'em (A minor) rolling
