E
Rat in a drain ditch, Caught on a limb,
A B E
You know better but I know him.
Like I told you, what I said,
Steal your face right off your head.
SN Bass E F# G# [on (E).....(F#)Now (G#)He's ]
A E A E E7 A B
Now he's gone, now he's gone, Lord he's gone, he's gone.
A B
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
A E B A E
He's gone, gone, nothin's gonna bring him back...He's gone.
Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride,
Hot as a pistol but cool inside.
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile,
Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile!!!!
Now he's gone, now he's gone Lord he's gone, he's gone.
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
He's gone, gone, nothin's gonna bring him back...He's gone.
B D A
Goin' where the wind don't blow so strange,
B D A
Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain.
D A G
Lost one round but the prize wasn't anything,
D Dm A B
A knife in the back and more of the same.
Same old, rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb,
You know better but I know him.
Like I told you, what I said,
Steal your face right off your head.
Now he's gone, now he's gone Lord he's gone, he's gone.
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
He's gone, gone, nothin's gonna bring him back...He's gone.
Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back.
