Intro
Am C Am C F C Em Am
[Verse 1]
Am
When the signals were green did you sit by the line
Dm G G/G#
And watch for the fire in the sky
Am
Then a scream and a roar and the shivering ground
Am Em Am
And old Oliver Cromwell goes by
C F
Did you fancy your hand at the throttle and brake
C Am
With the steam driven into your soul
C F
Or to stand with the driving wheels under your feet
C G Am
And shovel a mountain of coal
[Interlude]
Am C Am C F C Em Am
[Verse 2]
Am
Well they've silenced the whistle; the coal is all burned
Am Dm G G/G#
And they've buried the ashes for good
Am
They've torn up the loop, and there's only a scar
Am Em Am
To show where the water-crane stood
C F
But the birch and the elder still follow the track
C Am
Standing black in the smoke and the rain
C F
And the poor little sheep with the smouldering back
C G Am
Runs away at the sound of a train
[Interlude]
Am C Am C F C Em Am
[Verse 3]
Am
O Britannias and Jubillees, Compounds and Crabs
Am Dm G G/G#
Have been taken away from the shed
Am
And along with the clipper, the coach and the cab
Am Em Am
They speak of an age that is dead
C F
For some are away to be mounted and stuffed
C Am
While others are butchered and sold
C F
And the steamraiser's gone for the very last time
C G Am
And his brazier's broken and cold
[Interlude]
Am C Am C F C Em Am
[Verse 4]
Am
Well I've given me kettle and me old tin can
Am Dm G G/G#
To a lad for a souvenir
Am
And I'd trade in me shovel for twenty fags
Am Em Am
Or the price of a bottle of beer
C F
For the Scotsman has come to the end of his run
C Am
And Mallard is cold as the stone
C F
The story is over, the giants are dead
C G Am
And the jackals are picking the bones
[Outro]
