Chris Knight - "Spike Drivin' Blues"

"SPIKE DRIVIN' BLUES"

no capo

D
I must've been born with steel in my hands
A D
probably gonna die a spike drivin' man
D
I just lay the rail, I don't drive the train
A D
but if it jumps the track, I'm gonna hear my name

D
Train master says, his train better roll
A D
gotta pull the big bosses cars' of coal
D
So I work all night in the pouring rain
A D
I hate the train master and I hate his train

G D
Trains roll on and on don't never turn me loose
A G A D
I toss and turn all night long, got the spike drivin' blues

D
On my way home, train blocks the road
A D
Always makes me wait, makes supper cold
D
Then me an my wife, go to sleep in our bed
A D
Till the high-ball comes and wakes the dead

G D
Trains roll on and on don't never turn me loose
A G A D
I toss and turn all night long, got the spike drivin' blues

instrumental

D
I used to ride the caboose, used to run the break
A D
Till the bossman said that job ain't safe
D
Now I'm back on the rail, a hammer in my hand
A D
I know I'm gonna die a spike drivin' man

G D
Trains roll on and on don't never turn me loose
A G A D
I toss and turn all night long, got the spike drivin' blues

D
Spike drivin' blues, drive a man insane
A D
I hate the train master and I hate his train
