Am
Desert train,
C
I'm gonna chase you down.
Am
Makes no difference,
C
Where you're bound.
F
I wanna ride,
G
Rockin' the coals still
F Am
under the desert train.
Am
Desert train,
C
You got a voice like thunder.
Am
You got a song makes me,
C
Have to wonder,
F
What it's like,
G
To fly like a bat out of
F Am
Hell on a desert train.
And I'll be,
Am
Gone like a ghost standing in the shadows,
Dm
Gone like a tumbleweed when the wind blows,
G Em Am
Gone like the souls who have vanished from the plains.
And I'll be,
Am
Gone like a dream of days gone by and,
Dm
Gone like a string of boxcars flying,
G Em Am
Gone in the belly of a whale of a desert train.
Am
Came out here,
C
Washed my hands,
Am
Cleansed my sins, all those
C
Ancient sins
F
Oh but I,
G
Found no place out,
F Am
Here to hide my sorrow.
Am
Desert train,
C
I'm a lot like you,
Am
On my own,
C
Passing through,
F
This land.
G
Take me through the
F Am
Dust storms of tomorrow.
And I'll be,
Am
Gone like a ghost standing in the shadows,
Dm
Gone like a tumbleweed when the wind blows,
G Em Am
Gone like the souls who have vanished from the plains.
And I'll be,
Am
Gone like a dream of days gone by and,
Dm
Gone like a string of boxcars flying,
G Em Am
Gone in the belly of a whale of a desert train.
