Em Em G D Em
In the shuffling madness
Em Em G D Em
Of Locomotive Breath.
Em Em G D B
Runs the all-time loser
B B D Em
Headlong to his death.
Em Em G D Em
Oh! He feels the pistons scraping,
Em Em G D
Steam Breaking on his brow:
G A B D A B
Old Charlie stole the handle - And the train, it won't stop going:
B A G Em
no way to slow down.
 
He sees his children jumping off 
At stations one by one. 
His woman and his best friend 
In bed and having fun. 
Oh! He's crawling down the corridor, 
On his hands and knees. 
Old Charlie stole the handle - And the train, it won't stop going: 
No way to slow down. 
 
He hears the silence howling 
Catches angels as they fall. 
And the all-time winner 
Has got him by the balls. 
Oh he picks up gideon's Bible 
Open at page one. 
I thank God he stole the handle - And the train, it won't stop going: 
No way to slow down!
