E
Rat in a train ditch, caught on a limb,
A B E
You know better but I know him.

Like I told you, what I said,
A B E
Steal your face right off your head.
Refrain:
E A E A E A B
Now he’s gone, now he’s gone. He’s gone.
A B
Like a steam locomotive rollin’ down the track,
A E E7/D A E
He’s gone, gone, and 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.
