{title: Locomotive Breath}
{subtitle: Jethro Tull}
[em]In the shuffling madness [G D em]of the locomotive breath [G D]
[em]runs the all-time loser [G][D][H7] headlong to his death.
Oh, he [em]feels the piston scraping [G D]steam [em]breaking on his brow. [G D]
[G]Old Charlie stole the [A]handle, and the [H]train, it won't stop going, no way [G]to [D]slow [em]down. [G]Oh,[D em]oh. [G D]
[em]He sees the children jumping off [G D em]at stations one by one. [G D]
[em]His woman and his best friend [G][D][H7] in bed and having fun.
Oh, he's [em]crawling down the corridor [G D em]on his hands and knees. [G D]
Old [G]Charlie stole the [A]handle, and the [H]train,
it won't stop going, no way [G]to [D]slow [em]down. [G]Oh, [D em]oh. [G D]
[em]He hears the silence howling, [G D em]catches angels as they fall, [G D]
[em]and the all-time winner [G][D][H7] has got him by the balls.
Oh, he [em]picks up Gideons Bible [G D em]open at page one. [G]
I [D]thank [G]God he stole the [A]handle, and the [H]train,
it won't stop going, no way [G]to [D]slow [em]down.
No way [G]to [D]slow [em]down.
