CmG
Blowin'?? smoke, blowin'?? smoke, Chasin'?? steel, chasin'?? steel
CmG
Sometimes freedom , sometimes freedom , we must steal for it to feel real
CmG
Waitin'?? on that low hum , roll slow
CmG
Who would pay to see how smooth it rolls?
CmG
Breathe deep, breathe deep, Into the lungs, into the lungs
CmG
Freedom tastes, freedom tastes, just like the sun your tongue
CmG
Songs are sung, but wars are never won
Cm (once) G (once)
If we are one why can'??t we stare down the barrel of this gun
(Tempo Increases)
CmG
And oh these walls, some are bricks and some are alcohol
CmG
Some of them we can'??t even see at all
CmG
Some are hate, ignorance and rage
CmG (once)
Either way we'??ve locked ourselves up in our own fucking cage
Ab / G / Ab / GBridgeAbG
Play your roll, burn more coal, the whole train load full
AbG
Gag and choke on stagnant smoke, the burning of ancient bones
AbG
Won'??t you let this monster roll across the prairies wide
AbG (once)
Iron, steel, and diesel dreams, These mountains steal my breath but not my life
(Tempo Decreases)
Cm / G / Cm / GCmG
Cold winds blow, cold winds blow, Pick your car and count the bolts
CmG
Kill the crops, Kill the crops, Dig the soul out of mountain tops
CmG
Happiness is a cold cold gutter, air brakes scream and engines sputter
CmG
Sister, brother, tell me where did we get lost?
