Intro
D# G# D# G# D# A#
[Verse]
D#
With a steady hand on the lever
G# A#
And the signal ready to pass
G# Gm
Keep the light burning, fireman
G# A#
And the water, well up in the glass
[Verse]
D#
With a shoulder to the rail
G# A#
There's no better place to be
D# G#
Than the right side of the footplate
A# D#
When you're travelling by steam
[Chorus]
G# A# D# G# A#
Stand in the bight, look for the green light
G# D# Fm A#
Voices that echo and ring down the line
G# A# D# G# A#
One load to shed, then homeward we tread
G# D# A# D# G#
Till morning and the coal-boy come singing
[Verse]
D#
Me granddaddy worked in the railway
G# A#
A# bigwig, so I've heard talk
G# Gm
Me father, he was a driver
G# A#
Travelling pit to port
[Verse]
D#
And there's no better life for a young man
G# A#
With them you must agree
D# G#
When you're right side of the footplate
A# D#
And you're travelling by steam
[Chorus]
G# A# D# G# A#
Stand in the bight, look for the green light
G# D# Fm A#
Voices that echo and ring down the line
G# A# D# G# A#
One load to shed, then homeward we tread
G# D# A# D# G#
Till morning and the coal-boy come singing
[Verse]
D#
Tomorrow it's off up to Banbury
G# A#
A# lodging turn for me
G# Gm
Where I can lay me head on a pillow
G# A#
In a room where I can sleep
[Verse]
D#
And it's up and away in the morning
G# A#
And wipe the clock-face clean
D# G#
And you're right side of the footplate
A# D#
And you're travelling by steam
[Chorus]
G# A# D# G# A#
Stand in the bight, look for the green light
G# D# Fm A#
Voices that echo and ring down the line
G# A# D# G# A#
One load to shed, then homeward we tread
G# D# A# D# G# D#
Till morning and the coal-boy come singing
[Verse]
D#
So pick up yer traps and yer Tommy-box
G# A#
We're reaching the end of the line
G# Gm
Keep yer eye on your watch, lad
G# A#
We'll bring her in on time
[Verse]
D#
And it could have been life on the dole queue
G# A#
Or mining for coal at the seam
D# G#
But you're right side of the footplate
A# D#
And you're travelling by steam
[Chorus]
G# A# D# G# A#
Stand in the bight, look for the green light
G# D# Fm A#
Voices that echo and ring down the line
G# A# D# G# A#
One load to shed, then homeward we tread
G# D# A# D# G# A# D#
Till morning and the coal-boy come singing
[Outro]
