The Last Coal Train

G D G D G C G Em C Am D G D G Em G Em C G C No more black faced miners buying carbide at the store, D C G C D All the lamps lie in darkness, hanging empty by the door. G C And the chilly winds that blow no good, blow no good once more, G C D G And the last coal train is leaving town. G C No more kids out on the trestle bridge, playing that dangerous game. D C G C D Never have to mend a broken track, drive a spike again. G D G C You can leave the sleepers rotting, signals rusting in the rain, G C D G 'Cause the last coal train is leaving town.

G C For the first time in a long time, you might see the light of day, G C D G And the last coal train is leaving town.

G C And all the men who died in twenty shaft, who lie there for all time, G C D G And the last coal train is leaving town. G C Em C G Am D G C D Em D Am G
