Tonart: G minor
Verse 1
Em
Ever hear of a Gandhi dancer?
Well, he's the fella that laid
the railroad tracks.
He pushed those steel ribbons
clear
across this great land.
He worked hard,
Fm
Em
and it was a lonesome life.
Cross the prairie, markin' a course,
layin' a road for the iron horse,
with the blazin' sun on my breakin' back,
a long, long way to the end
of the track.
Fm
Swingin' ahead of the engine bell
The hot air filled with a black smoke smell
In time with the big crew
breakin' the ground
Em
And the big boss yellin',
C
Em
B
Em
keep layin' him down
G
Oh, it's not the sun I mind
D
G
Or the weight of the railroad ties
It's the gal that I left behind
D
Keep seein' those eyes,
G
Em
Am
Em
keep seein' those
C
Em
Got no time for thinkin' now,
keepin' this pace
with the sweat of my brow,
racin' the puff of the old smokestack,
Am
Em
a long, long way to the end of track.
Fm
End of track and I need a rest,
might ease this achin' out of my chest,
Em
so lift that hammer to your back can feel and show
B
Em
G
how good a man drives that steel
Pal, it's not the sun I mind
D
G
or the weight of the railroad ties
It's the gal that I left behind,
D
keep seeing those eyes,
G
Em
keep seeing those eyes
Pistons squealing, sledges pounding,
laying them down on the hard rock ground.
If you want your pay,
keep breaking your back.
It's a long, long way to the
end of the track.
Fm
Creeping along a tide of time,
we'll get our rest at the end of the line.
I'll drive my body till it falls apart
Em
and work that woman right out of my heart.
C
Em
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
It's not the sun I mine
D
G
for the weight of the railroad ties.
It's the gal that I left behind.
D
Keep seeing those eyes.
D
Keep seeing those eyes.
