Rail Yard Ghosts
"Steel and Smoke"
From the LP: Blackgrass
CmBlowin’ smoke, blowin’ smoke, ChasinG’ steel, chasin’ steel
Sometimes frCmeedom, sometimes freedom, we must stGeal for it to feel real
WCmaitin’ on that low hum, roll Gslow
WCmho would pay to see how smooth it rGolls?
Breathe deCmep, breathe deep, Into the luGngs, into the lungs
Freedom taCmstes, freedom tastes, just like the sGun your tongue
Songs are sCmung, but wars are never wGon
Cm (once) G (once)
If we are one why can’t we stare down the barrel of this gun
(Tempo Increases)
And oh these wCmalls, some are brGicks and some are alcohol
SoCmme of them we can’t even Gsee at all
Some are hCmate, ignorance and raGge
Cm G (once)
Either way we’ve locked ourselves up in our own fucking cage
G# / G / G# / G
Bridge
Play your rG#oll, burn more coal, the whole trGain load full
Gag and choke on stG#agnant smoke, the burning of ancient bGones
Won’t you let this monsterG# roll across the prairies Gwide
G# G (once)
Iron, steel, and diesel dreams, These mountains steal my breath but not my life
(Tempo Decreases)
Cm / G / Cm / G
Cold winds blCmow, cold winds blow, Pick your cGar and count the bolts
Kill the crCmops, Kill the crops, Dig the soGul out of mountain tops
HappineCmss is a cold cold gutter, air brakes scrGeam and engines sputter
Sister, brCmother, tell me where did we get loGst?
