(F major) (G major) (F major)
The (G major) last train
Verse 1
to Pontiac
(F major) pulled (G major) into the station,
switched off the lights and cut the engines.
But no passengers came calling,
no conductor counted tickets
Because the last train to Pontiac
had been declared finished
Somebody had decided
they could save a few million
To (F major) (G major) pay for that big tax cut
(F major) and (G major) that extra twelve billion
They (F major) (G major) budgeted for
the Pentagon nex (F major) t (G major) year
But (F major) (G major) isn't that what you wanted,
(C major) when you stood (D major) behind (G major) that curtain?
Isn't that what you wanted,
(C major) when you pulled (D major) on (G major) that lever?
Isn't that what you wanted, (C major)
but then you (D major) got (G major) exactly what
you asked (D major) for? (F major) (G major) (F major)
(D major) Didn't you? (F major) (D major) (G major) (F major) (G major)
The last train to Pontiac
sat rusting through the winter
(F major) While (G major) rich white men
debated the (F major) (G major) future of welfare mothers
(F major) And (G major) they said if a few people starve,
it's still worth the difference
If it gets the lazy mothers
to (F major) (G major) get a job to feed their children
Then they passed a new tax break
for (F major) (G major) the corporate bondholders
And a new federal subsidy
for (F major) (G major) the tobacco growers
And they gave away some prime wilderness
to some well -connected developers
And they did away with the agencies
that would have kept them from
ripping off (F major) the (G major) public trust
But isn't that what you wanted
(C major) when you pulled (G major) on that lever?
Isn't that what you wanted
(C major) when you stood (D major) behind (G major) that curtain?
Isn't that what you wanted? (C major)
Well, then (D major) you got (G major) exactly
what you asked (D major) for (F major)
(D major) Didn't you?

(G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (F major) (G major)
(F major) The (G major) last train to Pontiac
Verse 2
The (F major) (G major) last train to Montreal,
(F major) the (G major) last train to Milwaukee,
(F major) the (G major) last train through St. Albans.
(F major) We're (G major) quieted forever
to (F major) (G major) pay for one super bomber,
(F major) or (G major) just to please some banker
who (F major) (G major) never travels without his chauffeur,
(F major) or (G major) pays a dime when his tanker
(F major) kill (G major) s a billion birds and fishes.
(F major) He (G major) won't hear them cut the engines,
(F major) he (G major) won't watch them
shut the lights off.
(F major) He's (G major) too busy buying politicians
so (F major) (G major) they can afford the advertising
(F major) So (G major) they can afford to tell you
(F major) how (G major) much they're doing for you (F major) (G major)
(F major) But (G major) isn't that what you wanted (C major)
when you (D major) stood behind that (G major) curtain?
Isn't that what you wanted (C major)
when you pulled (D major) on that lever? (G major)
Isn't that what you wanted?
(C major) Well, then you've got (G major)
exactly what you (D major) asked for (F major) (G major) (F major) (D major)
Didn't you? (F major) (G major) (F major) (D major)
Didn't you? (F major) (G major) (F major)
(D major) Hey, didn't you? (G major) (F major) (G major)
(F major) you
