CHORUS
E                         A                A7
Driving that train, high on cocaine,
A7                                                          E
Casey jones is ready, watch your speed.
E                      A
Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
A7                                                                E
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.

VERSE
E                       F#
This old engine makes it on time,
A                                            B
Leaves central station ’bout a quarter to nine,
E                              F#
Hits river junction at seventeen to,
       A              G#m                   C#m         B
At a quarter to ten you know it’s travlin’ again.


CHORUS
 
E                       F   F#
Trouble ahead, oh, lady in red,
A                                     B
Take my advice you’d be better off dead.
E                                       F#
Switchman’s sleeping, train hundred and two is
 A              G#m                   C#m         B
On the wrong track and headed for you.


CHORUS

GUIT SOLO


E                       F         F#
Trouble with you is the trouble with me,
A                                     B
Got two good eyes but you still don’t see.
E                                       F#
Come round the bend, you know it’s the end,
 A              G#m                   C#m         B
The fireman screams and the engine just gleams...

CHORUS X2

E                      F   F#       B                      E        E7

And you know that notion just crossed my mind
